[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deetari:
I've gone through a bunch of the SystemUI.apk files already, and now I've started going through framework-res.apk files. I can't compile framework-res.apk properly (not sure how to set two dependencies in apk multi-tool), so I've just been dropping files into the .apk and overwriting the originals.

In any case, I've made the following files transparent and still had no luck making the notification backgrounds transparent at all:

- notification_bg_low_normal.9.png

- notification_bg_low_pressed.9.png

- notification_bg_normal.9.png

- notification_bg_normal_pressed.9.png

Of course, those files aren't referenced by any of the .xmls in framework-res, but I thought I'd give it a shot. In fact, I have no idea what is actually being referenced for those backgrounds.

I opened up status_bar_latest_event_content.xml to see where it went, and it ends up pointing at transparent color values for non-pressed/focused notifications.

My completely unfounded and wild guess at the moment that the black background is a horrible mix of the #FF00FF00 and #FFFF00FF colors that are referenced in two separate places (the former is in colors.xml, the latter is in status_bar_latest_event.xml), but that would be ridiculous, since the latter never seems to reference the former. Argh.

Very confused. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hassanabid94:
Hi, u say u have figured most of the things in editing the system ui can you please help me?

I am trying to change the background in the notification pull down, i decompiled the systemui.apk i tried changing some images but when i put it back into my phone nothing happens

I can't find the correct file to change.

And i read somehwere that i have to change something in the xml file also to change the target to an image rather than a colour

The xml file is pointing to a colour (black)

How do i make it target to a image and after that where do i place the image file

I am running cm10

Btw i am sorry i couldnt answer ur question i just cannot find an answer to my question searched every where on xda, also the tutorial which are there, are for gingerbread.

Thankyou
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deetari:
I still need help figuring out the answer to this problem. Got horribly sick recently and haven't been able to put any more effort into figuring it out on my own, yet.

Help, please! :(

=======

This is for stock, so I don't know if it will work in CM10. I somehow doubt it, but here's how it works in stock:

Decompile your SystemUI.apk and find the file "tw_status_bar_expanded.xml". It's in the res\layout folder.

Second line in the file should start with this:

<FrameLayout android:id="@id/notification_panel" android:background=

Replace whatever follows the android:background part with the file you want to use.

So, for example, if you changed status_bar_expand_default.png in the drawable-xhdpi folder into your background image, you'd write this (obviously without the red color):

android:background=[COLOR="Red"]"@drawable/status_bar_expand_default"[/COLOR]

and the full line would look like this:

<FrameLayout android:id="@id/notification_panel" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_expand_default" android:paddingTop="@dimen/notification_panel_padding_top" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/notification_panel_margin_left"

I suggest you use a 9patch image for your background, so it expands and shrinks without getting stretched, but you can experiment with that yourself. The image I used in my example (status_bar_expand_default.png) is unused by the system, as far as I know, so it's a convenient image to use.

Hello,

I would like to introduce my new app "Clock JB", a backport of the official Clock app included on Jelly Bean (Android 4.2) and compatible with all devices running Android 2.2+:

[Clock JB] [FREE] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.clockjb

--- FEATURES ---

- Digital clock

- Countdown timer

- Stopwatch

- Digital/Analog widget

- Night mode

- Compatible with Android 2.2+

- Ad-free

Also, I have released a backport of the old version (Android 4.0/4.1) of the deskclock that you can download for free on Google Play:

[Clock ICS] [FREE] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.clockics

I would be happy to receive feedback about any of the apps. Thanks!

Great clock, but after latest update doesn't work correctly.

When I set an alarm I can see the icon in the notification area and the next alarm time in the app and on the widget, but if I turn screen off and unlock the device there is no next alarm time on the widget or in the app, also the icon in the notification area is gone. I can only see the alarm if I go to the app and select alarms.

I tried setting an alarm using another alarm app and that worked. It showed next alarm on the widget and in the app (clock JB+), also the icon in the notification area.

The widget also stopped updating the time a few times..

I love the look of the app and bought the +-version after 5 minutes of testing the free one, but can't use it before these bugs are fixed. Please fix them ASAP.

Edit: Nevermind, found the culprit. Green Power's wifi management was somehow messing with the clock...

[Android Apps and Games] mutepoint:
JB+ Alarm settings don't stick on Sprint SGS3. Alarm keeps kicking off with both the notification icon and the clock widget indicator disappearing. However in settings panel it still shows the alarm as active, and toggling on/off /on brings back the proper display - untill something else takes focus. Disabling the JB+ alarm and then setting a stock "Touchwiz" alarm is a work around for now.

All things considered I still love this clock, and hope this gets resolved in a future release.

Edit: NVM - I cleared cache and dalvic cache, fixed permissions, and then froze all touchwiz clocks. After a reboot now this clock's alarm appears to work perfectly. Color me a completely happy camper.

[Android Apps and Games] 2xU:
Hi there !

I encounter the same issue where the alarm icon disapears from the notification/status bar and alarm indication disappears from the widget clock on my non-rooted stock Orange Galaxy Note 2.

It seems Mutepoint has found a way to reestablish proper functionning however I wonder how I can clear the cache, clear the dalvic cache and fix the permissions.

Could you help please ?

Thank you very much !
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Do you think it would be possible to mod Clock JB+ to add math solving to turn off/snooze? That would be awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] mutepoint:
My phone is rooted so I used Titanium Backup to "freeze" all the TouchWiz clocks. I clear cache, dalvic cache, and fix permissions using TWRP custom recovery. Bye the way the clock has been working flawlessly since I did these things last week... not a single alarm failure or glitch at all.
[Android Apps and Games] H.e.S.a.M:
some one pls send me the APK file. i cant download from play store:(
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
@Mobileillusion, Like the newer DeskClock on JB, is it possible to give an option to:

a) shake/snooze to dismiss an alarm

b) hide the alarm icon.

Thanks [MENTION=3748123]Mobileillusion[/MENTION] for making a great app! But I have a problem, I have CyanogenMod 7.2 on Galaxy Mini S5570L, and installed the application, but when I want to put the widget on my desktop, I can not see the Clock JB widget in the list of widgets ... What I can do?Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Mobileillusion:
Thanks for the ideas! Hide the alarm clock was included on last update of Clock JB+.

Have you installed the app on the SD card? I think by default app is installed on phone but I don't know if CyanogenMod 7.2 has some tweak to change this. Thank you for asking!
[Android Apps and Games] nufrankz:
Yeah, That was it. I configured the parameter pmInstallLocation to install all applications on the external card, so I installed it on the internal memory and then the widget appeared, thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] $hadow:
Request for next update, if possible:

- Allow custom color option for the widget texts (let the user choose the color that he wants from the color picker)

- Allow custom opacity/transparency option for the widget texts(let the user make his text more transparent or opaque)

- Add text shadow options for the widget texts (if the user has white text and bright background this will be very helpful)

I really want to make my widget black and a bit transparent. If you cannot do this then it's ok and thanks anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gharanai:
I have been facing this problem since I rooted my Galaxy S3 I9300, whenever I call someone or receive a call the call drops automatically as if I have disconnected it.

I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.1 version of Android.

I wanted to reinstall the OS but for that I want to backup my date and I want to do so on a PC with Windows 7 (64), the problem is that when I connect my phone to my PC, Kies says 'connecting' and never does so.

I am using a USB cable and and have the drivers install as well, so please let me know what to do.

Also if possible please let me know what's the best rooted ROM that I could install?

Thanking in advance for assistance.

A lot of people use custom ROMs because they don't like the manufacturer overlay (Sense, Blur, TouchWiz), to optimize performance or to fix software issues the manufacturer won't address. The stock OS even with it's flaws is almost always more stable than a custom ROM. With JellyBean fewer and fewer people are turning to ROMs because JellyBean is just that awesome :)

Why introduce the issues and loss of stability with a custom ROM when the stock one does everything you want and does it well?

I've tried all the ROMs available so far and none of them ran as well as the stock ROM for me. Tons of small annoying bugs like the back button not closing menus on certain ROMs just drove me nuts.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usc911:
Hey all, having a very odd issue here. I flashed Flinny's 4.2.1 AOSP rom a few days ago, worked absolutely perfectly, today when I turned the radio to use 2g for an app I was testing then rebooted it just bootloops constantly. I have tried wiping/flashing the same rom again, a build of CM10 and another rom in the forum (a sense build), same issue on all, it boots to the welcome screen on AOSP and CM10, and to the home screen on the other rom, then just reboots. I flashed AOSP again without gaps and managed to get to the home screen, I enabled aeroplane mode and it is absolutely fine (as in it doesnt reboot), then if I enable a data connection it just reboots as it had been doing.

Anyone else experienced this as I cant really pin it down to be anything other than a radio issue, even though I have not changed radio image.

This is the link for the logcat, initiated when I disabled aeroplane mode to when the device reboots. http://pastebin.com/R6SpZwWz

Any help very much appreciated.

Not my work thank thr devs of these great programs. [PHP[/PHP]I'm on cm10.1 and have been searching for days how to keep my notification bar but lose the nav keys. Using double x full screen from gnex forum I was finally able to do this. Install the apk 4.1 xda version then press disable. For me it didn't do anything at first so I enabled expanded desktop from the power menu (not sure if that's necessary) but when it rebooted have keys gone status bar still there. Make sure you have another soft button app or gestures installed. Buttons come back after reboot though. But just do the same process over.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nimer.abdul:
Hello All,

I do not post on XDA (Silent reader haha) This would be my first thread.:)

Anyways, I have a couple of questions that I could not seem to find solid answers to.

I'm on Stock Jellybean I9300XXDLIH. I plan on rooting using Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root (the one that keeps stock recovery)

Q1.) If I root using that, then later if I want to restore my phone to TOTAL stock to keep warranty, will I be safe by using TriangleAway and then flashing Stock firmware (Of the same region) using Odin? Are these 2 steps enough? Some people have got that tiny red exclamation mark,something about a new bootloader.. has that issue been resolved?

Q2.) I have heard that OTA updates are not a good idea after rooting. However I want to use Kies to update my firmware, after rooting and using TriangleAway. Is this a problem?

Q3.) I think we are getting a 4.1.2 update soon with premium suite .. around this month. Is it better to wait for that update before I root?

Q4.) If it is wise to root now, can somebody please link me to a guide that tells me what it is safe to remove from stock rom? I have downloaded a debloat tool from a guide, but I opened the .BAT file with a text editor, read the commands and saw that it removed too many things for my liking, some of them I would want to keep..

Q5.) Does the Stock Kernel support overclocking/Underclocking/Undervolting? (I am guessing not, being hopeful Interested in underclocking and undervolting.) Are there any drawbacks to using a Kernel like Siyah's in terms of battery life and stability? Does the Stock rom at least support underclocking by itself? On my Old galaxy mini it did..

Thank you, sorry for the long post or if the questions seem repeated (Spent loads of time searching!):laugh:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nimer.abdul:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rl421403:
Yes you can do that. You can find many guides here. Some members have made video tutorials Gore's third too.

I never had any issue with triangle away.

If you root then your phones binary counter will increase and phone will show in modified state. You will not be able to use ota upgrades. But I don't miss kies a bit because I got so much more with little secrifise. Also there are better options for backing up your phone then kies.

If that's what you want. But there are many custom roms already have 4.1.2 and they are much better then stock rom for battery, speed and smoothness. I could never convince myself go back to stock rom after trying some of custom rooms with lots of additional features.

You might want to search forum or YouTube for video tutorials. I learn that way.

Stock kernel do not support these. I use siyah and it's best in my opinion and experience.

I am not sure about this issue because I never faced this one. I purchased S3 last month and Isince then I have been flashing custom roms. I already tried 15-20 roms. Never had any issue.

All you had to do is completely follow instructions and make sure rom/mod/app is compatible with your phone model

Why do you want to update via Kies? I think Kies will only work if you keep your device pure. Also, you can update/flash official firmware with Odin/Mobile odin. That's what I do. Most of the people here do not use kies for upgrading firmware but they download stock samsung firmware from http://www.sammobile.com and flash it with Odin. It take 30 secs, as simple as that.
