[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coolkriss:
I am no noob but still better safe than Sorry ..

Ps - I already bricked my Note once and now learned the lesson the hardway. (ofcourse i got it fixed by SSC :silly: )

Ok.. I am now on the Samsung stock ICS 4.0.4 - DDLR1 (base band) - DDLR6 (Kernel) - India with all latest updates.

Now I have been craving for a good Tablet mode and see that the Paranoid Android (ICS .. not JB) is there and has been stable for a month now - Correct me if I am wrong here.

I have gone through the thread and did not find any major misses from the OS- Again , let me know if this not for daily use .

For me daily use = PHONE + WiFi + BT + Camera (Video & Photo) + Movies on Network Drive + Microsoft Exchange Sync or Active Sync should work (office mails) and a whole lot of crap which i can do without.

Per my understanding here are the steps i need to follow to move to v0.5 ICS ParanoidAndroid

1. Boot into Recovery

2. Flash any GB Kernel (Abyss)

3. Advanced --> Reboot recovery ( I forgot this step last time and bricked my phone at step 5 )

4. Flash v0.5 Paranoid Android using the touchscreen options

5. Wipe data , dalvic, cache

6. reboot

7. End - Will have Paranoid Android.

Hope these are the right steps. Correct me if am wrong :confused:

I am also looking at making a backup and restoring the list of apps i have already installed. I have never done a nandroid restore and would love if someone could explain the steps and can i do that from the Stock mode to the tablet mode ( i think apps are different for tab mode).

Help me out guys .. I know you all at the XDA are the most helping guys on forums i have ever seen .. :highfive:

Wipe should be done before flashing new ROM, I have updated the steps for you.

1. Boot into Recovery

2. Flash any GB Kernel (Abyss)

3. Advanced --> Reboot recovery ( I forgot this step last time and bricked my phone at step 5 )

4. Wipe data , dalvic, cache

5. Flash v0.5 Paranoid Android using the touchscreen options

6. reboot

7. End - Will have Paranoid Android.

You can backup your downloaded apps and their data using Titanium backup for future restore, but stock Samsung apps will not work on CM.

Not necessarily, you can wipe even after flashing the rom, just as long as you wipe.:cool:

Please can anybody guide us(noobs) with a proper tutorial for systemUI.apk mods for our leo??? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I'm not sure which guide you followed but you can try this one - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20654552&postcount=3

And if you are looking for different mods in general check out the SGN Themes&Apps section http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1340

It's way more active when it comes to mods&themes compared to the HD2 section (Which consists mostly of Questions and Disscusions anyway :eek:)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gogodu5sU:
You were right, this guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1523703 works well.

I actually never sign SystemUI.apk nor framework-res.apk, never had a problem with that, so you can skip that part.

Try APK Multi-Tool - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310151

and don't forget to drop framework-res.apk into Apk_Multi-Tool\other

next open Command prompt and navigate to that folder

type

apktool if framework-res.apk

and you should be ready to de- and recompile.

Attached is 100% transparent and 50% transparent. (have not tested 50% though)

im trying to figure this out for the rom in my sig which is a jb rom

but that guide did help me at all lol

none of the code matched up
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] parker09:
Thanks those two mods worked, thanks.

Probably because it's a different version of Android
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jhha:
Permissions???

Thanks man I'll definitely try with this & let you know & many thanks for the modded zips(till I learn how to manipulate SystemUI.apk successfully my leo can enjoy it!:highfive::highfive::highfive:)! Thanks again.!

:D:D:D

I found this guide too...!!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31785-co...ng-and-recompiling-jb-systemuiapk-jelly-bean/

& managed to compile the SystemUI.apk but still it results in absent status bar in either way of following

1. Replacing the original SystemUI.apk in the ROM with the modded one & installing the ROM(Tried both signed & unsigned versions)

2. After installing the original ROM & later replace the SystemUI.apk with the modded one with root explorer (Tried signed version)

But when I Edit the permission(with root explorer) of the modded SystemUI.apk copied to the system folder (As in 2nd method), as for other system apps it worked. :p:cyclops::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I cant understand in which step I made things wrong! In which step we manage permissions of an app while decompiling, compiling or modding.! :confused::confused::confused:

It'd be nice if somebody can direct me right.! Love to learn from XDA...!!! :cowboy::cowboy::cowboy:

Try above link...!!!:D Its originally for JB...!!!;):p:laugh:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
yes ive seen that thanks

found out last night that the status bar transparency on jb cant be done yet

im gonna try and figure out the notification pull down later today
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gogodu5sU:
Permissions are set in the AndroidManifest.xml. (in the root folder of the decompiled apk)

Sometimes, if an app is asking for "wierd" permissions which i/it doesn't need i just delete those lines from that file. :cool:

But in your case, i don't know what happend.

Sorry Kameirus

but i can't help you with that either, i guess you would be better off downloading the jellybean source

and try to mod it that way or wait until somebody else does.

I don't think that those "smalis" don't exist, they are just named differently

and overall just different since it's a new android version.

My guess would be, if you want to add transparency you might want to look at:

SystemUI.apk\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\BaseStatusBar.smali

If you are going to learn a bit about smali, you could try Virtuous Ten Studio - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1619473

It makes smali's a bit easier on the eye and has a nice smali-guide within.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
thanks

i saw that smali a little while ago when i was going thru the folders

ill look at it later after i get home

thanks for the tip
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
well no luck lol

but i did learn how to flash a backup blindfolded lmao
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jhha:
Ok I think I figured out whats the problem is with my compiling...!!! ;););)

When you run the compile it ask to replace every thing that not modified from the original. I chose "yes" earlier all the time! But when I select "no"

I could get a working SystemUI.apk even without zipaligning or signing.! :cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildcolor:
Some roms require a full wipe/factory reset before installing. Of course that will delete all apps including the one that I bought. Do I need to buy them again?

Also, will the 'titanium backup' backups the homescreen settings (i.e., the app shortcuts created on main screen)?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SithDagger:
Your apps are attached to your gmail account, as long as you sign in on your device with the same account after flashing/wiping, you can redownload the paid apps.

Titanium backup by default will not backup homescreen settings, but if you manually backup the launcher and its data then it can restore the settings.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharliesTheMan:
Yeap once you buy your apps, they're yours for good. You can sign in a whole different device and your apps in the play store still belong to you, you just open the playstore and click on the lil arrow thing up at the top for the "My Apps" page. It will open to your installed apps and if you swipe to view the page to the right it shows all apps, which includes any app you previously downloaded but isn't installed.

And also when you wipe data and install a new rom, It will have you sign into your google account in the setup process right after the wifi connection screen. Once setup is complete and you're all booted up, if you just leave the tablet alone and let it settle a few minutes, it's going to automatically install all the apps you had installed on your last rom from the play store, unless you've changed the default backup/restore settings.

Make sure with titanium backup, you NEVER install system apps, which are the red ones. You can set the filter to User apps only before backing up your apps. Then you'll load the rom and complete the setup and let it settle while it installs all the apps it's going to from the play store. Then you can just batch restore any missing apps. I would batch restore the apps only, and then go back and restore only the app data that you actually need. For instance you may want to restore a game with a thousand levels of progress, but don't restore app data just to keep from typing a username and password into an app one time which takes about four seconds.

I help a lot of new guys get started wiping, installing roms, and setting up and try to teach them along the way. I let them learn instead of doing it for them. Here's what I've found to be the best way to learn.

Make a nandroid backup of current setup. Then wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system, install the rom and gapps, and reboot and setup. Once it's setup let it settle in and sync and all that good stuff. You want the boxes asking if you want to back up the tablet and restore to the tablet in the setup process both checked.

After you've booted, set up, and let all the apps install that it's going to install, then reboot into recovery and make another nandroid backup, if using TWRP you can name it like "ExampleRom_B4Titanium." Now you've got a clean nandroid backup of the rom setup, and you can start playing with titanium backup and if you accidentally do something that causes problems, you can just wipe everything and restore that clean nandroid backup you made prior to Titanium.

First Full Credit to vegeta1 for the orignal mod and the images. My contribution consists only of porting it over to the US SGS3. If you use this please go to this thread and thank him.

This was made for Synergy 1.7. It will work on 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and any future release that does not require a wipe.

This *should* also work for any touchwiz based deodexed rom like bean's or others.

This will overwrite any custom themeing done to SystemUI.apk. If you want to keep your mods, post you systemUI.apk and what you want done.

oh yeah. forgot i centered the clock. will post a right hand clock version. the black status bar version should have the stock clock location
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
:eek: im gonna go ahead and try this right now :) Should it affect battery life, in a way that a live wallpaper would?

Is there a way to make it so I can change images in the pull down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] racinwarrior:
No effect on battery

The images are in drawable xhdpi. Just open systemui with 7 zip, rename your images to match mine and replace them. Easy.

Does this overwrite/affect other themes/mods?

So it can't be used on stock rom?

If I post my already modded SystemUI.apk would you be and to put in the working brightness slider?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PetRiLJoe:
Okay I've been using it since this morning and I think it's pretty sweet. In landscape mode I have no problems whatsoever. In portrait mode if I let my notifications build up too much then it covers the center clock and animated pull down. But I like the look of the clock in the center and I am going to keep it for now. Thanks for the work that you put into this. And props to the creator in the link in the original post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] racinwarrior:
how many notifications until it covers the clock? just wondering cause i think i can limit the number of notification icons that display
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] racinwarrior:
the rom has to be deodexed.

post whichever systemUI you want modded along with what mods you want and ill take care of it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] racinwarrior:
there is already an international version. check the thread link in the OP

Anybody else having issues with system ui force closing when changing wallpapers after installing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
Thanks man!

When you have time, the 3 things (in order of importance) I want added to my SystemUI.apk are..

1. the working brightness slider

2. the Torch toggle button (if you can keep and match my green ones that are there)

3. change the Verizon Wireless text to "Locked-N-Loaded"

My attached SystemUI.apk is already heavily modded with wifi and more toggles added in, annoying GPS crosshairs removed, custom battery icons. So, I think these 3 items are kind of the final cool mods I am looking for. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] racinwarrior:
ok i added 1 and 3. cant add 2 without the 15 toggle mod. i assume you want the animated background?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
thanks. no, don't worry about the animated background. That is not as much my style as the other 3. thanks!

Since I am running the stock ROM, I can't do deodexed mods - like that 15 toggle mod - as full on ROM swaps are not my thing as much as little mods here and there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] racinwarrior:
try this

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13601185/SystemUI.apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
Thanks.. but it does not work.

The slider is there, but it does nothing. I had this issue with another slider mod I tried to do as putting in the slider is 1 part, a code edit, but editing the somli code to tell the slider to do what it is suppose to do is the other. As I am sure you know. Thanks for the effort, if you cant code the slider to actually work, I understand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] racinwarrior:
yeah forgot the smali lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
so does that mean no dice, or maybe later :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] racinwarrior:
sure but they wont be animated

the pull down back ground is actually easy to change yourself. when i created part of the systemUI for Synergy, i included a file in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi called status_bar_expand_default.png. this is the background for the pull down. you cn ghange it to whatever, just keep the same name.

to change it just open, not extract, systemUI.apk with 7-zip, navigate to the folder and drop you image in replacing mine. put your systemUI back on the phone using root explorer and change permissions to rw-r-r
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hitman3984:
would a new systemui.apk have to be created every time I applied darkhorse rises theme to a new nightly release/installed new nightly release?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] racinwarrior:
i believe, without looking at it, that darkhorse contains its own systemUI.apk. so whenever you flash it you are overwriting Synergy's SystemUI with dark Horse's.

so yes, everytime you flash a nightly you must reflash dark horse
