It may be that the notification shade overlaps with the status bar but that there's really no content missing, not sure. But the pullup shade kinda starts nowhere about halfway up the status bar which doesn't look very good. Notifications just don't seem like they have enough height to them. Decreasing font size I think helped a little
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Just about right:
I don't know what kind of settings you have made, but I could post mine and see if that helps? I'm sure you've done similiar to what I have, but figured I would offer.

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------

Just in case others don't know or want to know which things do what, here is a small list I made.

DPI is set at 240 using romtoolbox pro.

Android System: DPI 210 with a 320x480 and tablet is unchecked. This will adjust your status bar heigth. If you want it smaller, reduce the number.

Gmail: DPI 0 with a 600x1024 and tablet is unchecked. This puts your gmail into a two tier mode. Very nice setting.

Google Play Store: DPI 0 with a 480x854 and tablet is unchecked. Makes the icons in the playstore smaller, so more apps are seen either on you installed tab or your apps tab.

Settings: DPI 160 with a 1000x1600 and tablet is unchecked. This setting along with the next one will adjust your settings to the two tier one found on tablets. It makes the fonts small, and can be difficult to read, but easily fixed by putting things back to default.

Settings Storage: DPI 160 with a 1000x1600 and tablet is unchecked. Works hand in hand with the above tweak.

System UI: DPI 200 with a 1000x1600 and tablet is unchecked. Helps make the statusbar pop up to the correct size. You can go to 160, but your toggle buttons get smaller. I elected 200 for the larger buttons.

If anyone else has some tweaks, lets post and make this GNII a true beast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tarheeldan:
Thank you! Please post if you figure out the lockscreen and flash bar in camera issues I think that would just about make this perfect :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tarheeldan:
Anyone figure out how to get a multi-window with all apps working on this? this one has a limited list... better than stock... but limited :(

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

Nice! 160 DPI for android system made the notification shade perfectly flush with the top of the status bar :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
The notification shade needs recoding to be like stock shade so that the icons disappear upon notification. There are several things im working on. Also trying to integrate an add on settings app so that the quicklaunch menu shows up in display> settings so that it can toggle whether you want an icon for (screenshot/app drawer/camera/search/none) I havent forgotten about you guys. Im just not used to reading java so im having to basically read all the smali files to find out what it is doing and then figure out the code to inject and where. Lol daunting task at hand.

The flashbar should have all programs in it. If if doesn't then install the xposed multiwindow mod and enable the module it will fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tarheeldan:
Awesome, looking forward to updates and thank you.

In the meantime, very much enjoying tablet mode in a variety of applications :
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Just about right:
I have turned off the stock locker and installed widgetlocker in its place. Just as good and has several options to mod it. Give it a try.

Still waiting on the fix for the shading, but still loving the mod. Keep up the great work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tarheeldan:
Thanks :) I had the same idea and it looks much better.

Figured out when the Smart Stay problem was being initiated - when turning the screen off and then back on. That's why I never noticed the problem when first booting up. I really like this feature so I'm back on the normal UI at 240dpi for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imneveral0ne:
Any chance of seeing this rom on the Sprint Note II? :-o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Its not a rom but a simple mod. Replaces systemui.apk and android.policy.jar. it will probably work on any touchwiz bases that are jellybean 4.1.1 based. However not sure what or if it will break anything as each carriers builds are slightly different. Also I have no way of testing on ither carriers other than verizon base.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] magikspl:
Anyone have the stock rom systemui.apk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
I saved my systemui (untouched backup) before over writing earlier today after rooting if that's what you want?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Real quick. Does anyone know if the notifications on a galaxy tab or bote 10.1 show up in the status bar or above the status bar? Trying to decide whether to have it above the status icons or temporarily hide the icons for notification?

If im not mistaken it was above the icons in honeycomb but not sure about jellybean
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Just about right:
Personal preference and from what I have seen on the tablets I have played with and my own, have it hide the icons for notification. Just my two cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Update in OP

Now fully themed. Notifications fixed. Updated install inscructions. Suggest running build.prop at 320dpi to keep one handed use available on samsung apps. Uploaded original Samsung Keyboard for anyone that flashed the 240dpi version. Suggested DPI settings have been listed at the bottom of the OP.

I should have a themed Multiwindow bar up by the end of the day. Sorry for the delay guys just hard to get things done when you work 70 hours a week and are on the road all the time. Anyway, Im playing around with integrating the Quicklaunch Settings into our actual settings application that way you guys can get rid of the annoying screenshot button and change it to either app drawer/screenshot/camera/search or none
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:

Just grabbed the new systemui and flashbar and injecting them now. Time to play!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahfu25:
I see you use both twrp and cwm. Can you have both installed at the same time? Im on twrp and when I try to flash this mod it doesnt show up in twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Just about right:
No, I only have one at a time but both on my external sd for quick flashing to either one. You can't flash this mod. It is a series of files that need moved over and if you are on twrp, it makes it even easier. I was trying to do it all through root explorer. Big issues and once I was instructed that using the file manager in twrp is easier, it made getting this running a lot easier. Let me know if you need assistance, I would be glad to help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
This is not a flashable mod. You need use root explorer to replace the files...I say this because if you use root explorer you will more then likely take the time to create backups and copies of your files so if you don't like it you can revert. Please follow directions in OP. If you must install through twrp though.

1. Click Mount - Check "Mount System". Then hit back

2. Click Advanced

3. Click File Manager then navigate to the first downloaded file.

4. Click on the file and then click copy.

5. Navigate to the directory that that file needs to be placed in and click select.

6. Repeat for all 3 files.

7. Reboot

8. Follow instructions in op for setting up xposed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahfu25:
Can you link me to the flashable twrp file? From there I can figure it all out. I like cwm but I was re-instaling the de-odex rom to get back to twrp..sucks but Im a flash whore anyways..lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Just about right:
You beat me to the punch. I was waiting to see if he wanted the help. Nice and I think it should go on the first post with the current updates. This new mod is rocking. Changed a few of my settings, but working through it now. You're the man!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahfu25:
I used root explorer and made back ups and all. Didnt work for me. I must be doing something wrong..I'll keep trying after the games tonight. Thank you for this mod though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
Do you have a mod for the tablet ui from the nexus 7 where the notifications come from the top like the phones and the navigation buttons are at the bottom. I guess that's called the phablet ui
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
No. If im not mistaken phablet ui is as simple as changing the dpi to 170 on the nexus 7. This is more of a port from a galaxy tab 7/note 10.1 as this is for stock touchwiz based roms where the nexus is asop based.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
This is really brilliant. In my opinion the worst part of the Note it's inappropriate use of the space. While the PA roms are getting there this allows the best of both worlds. Thank you! Also glad you're updating directions. Sometimes kind of ambiguous.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Thanks man. I have to agree. I hated the stock ui and how much space it wasted. Also with it being such a big phone I couldn't reach the status bar with my thumb while using one hand so that's where this came from

I think pretty much all the kinks are worked out as far as the actual alignment issues provided that your settings for dpi are listed like in the OP. I have been trying to wrap my head around how to get the damn Quicklaunch button hook into a program to be able to change it like the stock galaxy tab settings..but its a ***** lol I have tried quite a few different hooks inside the systemui just to see which variable array that ID is working off of lol...haha Ill get there eventually.

Anyway I hope the directions are fine. If anyone has any problems let me know and I will try to update them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahfu25:
Now after first step of overwriting sytem ui I get the message "Unfortunately,System UI has stopped." I cant do anything after that Nothing works...I quit..lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Ugh....fine, flash away, You still need to follow instructions for Xposed...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qqtyxb8qxwh1obq/TabletUI_Verizon_Note_2.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahfu25:
I appreciate it and thank you but I didnt need it. Even after flashing your zip I still get the same error message. Im on stock odexed if that matters.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
It does. Should have mentioned deodex only as well lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahfu25:
lol..damn
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahfu25:
Again Im going to thank you but this mod is not easy to install. I got it installed now and there's a screen that says COMPATIBILITY across the screen. It wont go away no matter what I do. Plus before this I couldnt open the app to edit the dpi. I'll come back to this when its less complicated. Too many errors for me, I mean at first I always look at what Im doing wrong, but I followed your instructions to the T and I haven't gotten to where I don't encounter a problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Just about right:
I feel your pain because I worked on it for a whole day and the next morning before giving up and then got a walk through. Ensure your rom is deodexed and also 4.1.1. Beans 5 will work fine and once you do that and have it running, then reboot to recovery and use twrp file manager to move the required files to the locations in framework and app. Fix permissions and reboot. It takes some getting use to and figuring out but once you can start tweaking, it is nice. I am a huge fan of PA but ran into a program that will not work right with it, but with xposed it works perfectly.

Like I said, if you need help just let me know and I'll see if maybe I can help like I received.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qdroid:
Having issues when I set SystemUI and Android to 160 dpi as per the new instructions on the OP. If I set it to 240 dpi it works fine but at 160, it looks like the attached screenshot. Also, my lockscreen (slide option) has the time displaying sometimes with an email icon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
It looks like you're running a custom launcher. If so, go change the settings for the launcher app in the app tweaker to default for the phone, dpi 320 etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Change your launcher dpi to match at 160 or whatever you want to run it at. But use 480 x 854 for the resolution
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tarheeldan:
Tried the new updates. Great work, thank you!

List of kinks I noticed:

Lockscreen - clock issue (wrong time, e-mail icons)

Quickglance - broken

Smart Stay - shows icon as if constantly running

Smart Rotation - icon doesn't show up when it's checking your face for orientation

Camera - status bar goes blank, but doesn't disappear, shows a few dots instead of icons, and overlaps with camera buttons and gallery preview

Notification Shade - duplicate battery percentages

Settings - didn't see this in the last version, in this version the buttons e.g. "clear chache" and "clear data" have a grey bar through the middle of the text as if the texture is shrunk vertically. (could be my settings; used those in the updated OP)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahfu25:
Thank you...maybe tomorrow afternoon I'll try again. And again thanks again to the op for this....I really want to get this mod working for me it looks great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] demass430:
Can someone help me? I believe I moved all the files correctly, but can install the xposed apks. I keep getting the parsing error message, but my screen has the tablet ui, but the dpi(s) are all wrong.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/rt0295nq5kmkcgm/Screenshot_2013-01-06-18-18-14.png
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Lockscreen, quickglance, smart rotation smart stay im rewriting android.policy.jar to fix it.

Duplicate battery percentage is because I replaced the icon with a 1% mod...stock tabley ui has battery percentage in the popup panel. Which is why the settings key to turn off battery percentage doesn't work because it is natively there. Change the battery icon to a standard battery if you do not want a duplicate %. I will see if I can link the visibility to the settings checkbox though.

Settings. I dont have this issue so im not sure how to replicate or create a fix other then move 200dpi and 480x854 resolution

In video, camera and all full screen apps the status bar will dim to show only dots for the navigation buttons until screen is tapped......try using the 240dpi camera...from the 240dpi apps thread
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Delete and re download the apks?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Just about right:
Not trying to demean you, but want to make sure. Rom is 4.1.1 and not 4.1.2? Did you do this dirty or fresh? I haven't tried the mod dirty (flashing it with everything set up on my phone), only clean (fresh flash of the rom and immediately did the transfer of files using twrp). You say you can't install the xposed apks? Not clear on that one. If you cannot, unfortunately, try a fresh flash but do a backup first. It will allow you to come back to it if you desire. Did you use the zip download from a couple pages back or the files from the first page?

I had already done that, but I got it to work. idk why, but when i transferred the files to my dropbox it worked fine. Thanks

I did a clean install, but I got it to work. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tarheeldan:
Is the lockscreen fix of turning clock on and off sticking after a reboot for you guys? I had tried this too but the problem cropped back up.

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

Awesome! Really looking forward to this! :)

Thanks. I'm using the 240dpi camera, but the status bar still overlaps and cuts off half of the gallery button and the bottom-most button on the left hand side. Basically it protrudes into the app window a little and looks funny.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
OK guys another update

Lockscreen Permanent Clock Fix

Smart Stay & Smart rotation fixed

Messaging alignment on lockscreen fixed

I will update SystemUI tomorrow with a themed SmartStay Icon as it is currently green.

Fixed

Android.Policy.Jar

Enjoy

Spoke to soon....Its working lol...icon blinks and system show it reading LidState, but the icon is still persistent however the function works...almost there..now back to finding all the LidState variables for the drawables...sorry for the wait haha but Im getting there :P but it works now.

Ps. Anyone wanna help with the settings menu integration for choosing quick launch icon? My brain hurts :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PureLife90:
Why doesn't my menu button work anymore after downloading this mod?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
? Menu and back button is still registered and mimics button 138/9. And 158. This does not affect your generic kl or any key mapping files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PureLife90:
I just realized that it does work. Just doesn't work on home screen. Shoukd I download SwiftKey tablet mode since the phone version keeps telling me that I should?

Another thing why is my market so enormous?

*edit *

Also when you go into settings of a keyboard everything is ginormous. Is this just an error on my part?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Use xposed to change the dpi and resolution for problem apps that dont look right. Your market will read for 320dpi. But when the apps load on your system if you are running 160 dpi for android (framework) that is what they will see which is why it is suggesting swiftkey tablet :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PureLife90:
Well no worries I just downloaded SwiftKey Flow tablet and I'm digging the split mode of it. I used the settings you suggested in the op
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bill Idol:
So when it says to overwrite you're just putting the apk file or what ever file into the spot where it's supposed to go. There are no name changing or taking one file out to replace it with another. Right?:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
You have copied the android.policy.jar correct?

Abdroid policy jar has phone window and phone window manager scripts in it which tell it to use the statusbar/tablet folder injected in the systemui. Otherwise it will just use phone folder with stock policy.jar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mertemur:
i missed rom version. My rom is 4.1.2. When i change this android jar and systemui my device is bootloap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Hence the reasoning behind the title of the post...4.1.1 deodexed only in capital letters. I will not make a 4.1.2 revision until verizon gets an official 4.1.2 base.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mertemur:
why don't you think make a revision 4.1.2 european?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Because the 4.1.2 roms don't run properly on Verizon phones. Im a verizon customer. I dont necessarily develop or make mods to things unless it will benefit me lol. Sorry I know thats not the mindset most developers have. But I work 70 hours a week and did this in my free time and dont want and will not take donations. I simply made this because I like tablet ui and have small hands and cannot reach the stock statusbar with my thumb.

If you want to make one for 4.1.2 it is very simple. But time consuming. Decompile the 4.1.2 systemui and android.policy from the note 2 rom. Get a note 10.1 4.1.2 rom and do the same. Get a 4.1.2 galaxy tab7 and do the same.

Inject tablet/multiwindow files from note 2 10.1 systemui

Inject statusbar/tablet from gsm or cdma tab 7 from systemui

Inject landscape multiwindow files from note 10.1 policy.jar

Inject phonewindow and phone window manager smalis from tab 7

Inject res files from tab7

Compile. Fix errors in code. Patch flashbarservice with note 10.1 flashbarmanager files.

Ps obviously touchwiz roms only ...as asop got rid of the tablet bar after honeycomb if im not mistaken

text color on some screens

Thanks for the mod. Love it. Although I am having some inconsistent font color and size issues. If you look at the attached picture, yiu will noticed that some if the text are dark really hard to see. Also see the icons in the pop up are large as well. Does anyone have a solution for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
I beleive its part of the framework-res.apk. im gonna see if beams plans anymore framework modding. Or simply provude him with the files that need to be changed in the cirrect dpi drawable folder for font color.

Need some help with tweaks

Hello I been following this thread and decided to incorporate this Mod on my Note II. I exactly what I was looking for. I been having difficulty fixing the notification as seen in the attached screenshots. has anyone experienced the same problems and willing to share a fix or instructions on how to fix? I am on rooted stock deodex 4.1.1 Rom I downloaded off XDA.

Edit:

So all of sudden I reboot my device and the resolution changes but the icons on lock screen is too small. The notification pane is better but text is very small. Its been hit or miss on my end on getting this set up right. One odd anomaly is that on opera mobile the menu bar relocated to the top where as before it was at the bottom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PureLife90:
Love the mod but not having a flashlight toggle is killing me. I have the flashlight toggle checked and activated in the misc settings on beans rom but it's not showing up in my status bar. Same issue with the tether widget. Anybody have a fix for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bill Idol:
I believe the notifications toggle looks like that because it's in tablet form.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blanco954:
I not sure how I am initiating this mode. I assume through Xposed app settings however I doubled checked the recommended settings as suggested in opening post.
