bottom navbar modification

Is it possible to change the size of the bottom navbar or modify they buttons? Specifically, I would like to be able to increase the height a bit since I changed my LCD density down to 280 and the navbar is now tiny. Just coming back to TW from AOSP due to stability issues in recent builds, and miss that customization.

I was having a problem with the transparency sticking. when I rebooted, it would revert back to the blacked out status bar. Then after 10 seconds (sometimes longer) it would go back to full transparency? either way, I switched to superuser SU and it's working perfectly! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hajabooja:
Looking forward to the non-transparent background version, thanks for that imnuts. This with your kernel is running great. I assume the transparent background is to blame for the delay when opening apps for the first time? It doesn't seem to happen for apps that don't have the transparent background. Everything else runs amazing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
When I first installed the rom I had pretty bad lag (what your describing above) I switched to superuser SU and also check marked the zero wake lag under TSM parts, and im getting no lag whatsoever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Given the slew of transparency related comments I thought I would chime in a wee bit -

The way the mod is done does not involve a specific app - the changes are to the styles.xml and two images in framework-res.apk. The meat of it is in the styles.xml - once those changes are in place you can then change the opacity of the two images to alter the transparency level system-wide. The brief-flash-of-homescreen issue people report is not really an issue per se (outside of the aesthetic disturbance of course) - it just makes salient how samsung/touchwiz handles app open/close animations - it does a brief flash to a system background (different from wallpaper fwiw) during the transition. The transparency mod is system-wide, so by design it alters that system background to allow the wallpaper to show (sort of necessary for the transparency bit elsewhere) - it's just annoying and unfortunate that the mechanics behind that open/close animation have yet to be isolated and made to not behave the way folks are seeing.

The upside to this is that all one needs to alter to "fix" (i.e. remove) the transparency is change 2 images and revert to a stock styles.xml in framework-res - and blammo. The downside - whether or not this mod is in place really should not create lag one way or another. I should add the disclaimer there that I have no proof or reason to think this - just my gut really. In my personal experience I've noticed no difference anyway.

Nice to see that being the biggest issue at the moment though :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Ya I changed the images to black and turned off window animations so I dont see the flash of home screen. .. all is well.... thanks dwitherell and imnuts for the great rom!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Is changing the images difficult? I'd like to give it a go but don't know where to begin. Any help is appreciated.

No its not. I posted a on screen how to vid a page or so back...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eric2112:
Thanks! Really appreciate the quick response. I ended up following your process except for I had extracted the apk on my PC and did the mods there, then copied back to my SD and moved to system/framework after.

One weird occurance was that after reboot, I had to re-add my Gmail and corporate email accounts. Is this normal when messing with the framework-res file?

Worked like a champ otherwise and I am back up again!

Thanks has been hit!

Three things that I cant figure out. Might be bugs, might not be. Just want to clarify and see if there are work arounds:

1.) Tapping the Swagger toggle hotboots the phone. I really don't need this toggle and it never really did anything anyway, but was curious.

2.) When trying to add to the Blocking Mode whitelist, I can get to the point where it will let me select contacts from my address book. Whenever I tap Done however, the phone freezes and I have to pull the batttery. I would really love to have this feature working as it is the same as quiet hours on 4.2.2 except a little better.

3.) Maybe I'm crazy (completely possible), but didn't the mobile network settings used to have the APN editor enabled? Seems to be disabled now. I tried to get a screenshot, but the menu disappears when you tap anything else. Basically Under the APNs sub-menu of Mobile Networks, you have the LTE - Verizon Internet APN there and Enabled. If you tap menu, you get "+ Add new access point name" and "Reset to default". Both are grey and not usable. How do you fix this?

Other than these things I consider this the best Rom as a daily driver. Always used Tweaked on my Droid Charge. w00t!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
1 is working as intended, and for 2, blame Verizon. Blocking mode is a function of the stock Samsung ROM, but isn't included in the stock Verizon ROM. The code is still mostly there, but there are some things that don't work in it, as you found out. This ROM just exposes blocking mode as it exists in the Verizon ROM with all of the limitations intact.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawiseguy77:
Curious since it says its using latest vzw ota does that mean vzw stuff works? Like visual voice mail NFL mobile etc....

R u using superuser or super su?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hajabooja:
Thank you for this information. I'm having trouble finding styles.xml. Could you point me to it's exact location?

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

Superuser, the one that came with the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Once you decompile framework-res.apk - go to /res/values/styles.xml - it's gotta be decompiled to see it though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hajabooja:
That would make sense! Thank you!

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

Got it all decompiled and found the file. Do you know what lines need to be changed/changed to in the styles.xml?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Superuser, the one that came with the ROM.

Try using super su c if that helps

Text Messages...

Has anyone ever had this issue. This morning, after flashing the newest version happily and getting my fix, it was a while before i recieved my first text. I didn't notice at first, but then it became clear that my received messages were time stamped three hours late.

I get the message at 1 pm, the timestamp says 4 pm... my sent messages are correct, along with my system time and the time in TWRP is correct with the proper time zone.

The only issue I've run into was while poking around with settings, in the power menu, there's an onscreen keys selection I pushed it and had to battery pull. I don't think that was connected to my msging issue.

If anyone has any ideas, or suggestions, please let me know, I'm feeling pretty OCD right now...

Edit:

Ok, installed go sms pro, the timestamp is correct now, so it's isolated to the messaging app...

I'd rather use the stock app, but unless there's some ideas, or someone has a separate apk for it...

Thanks.

Worked like a champ, thanks man, I hate screen on anyway. What's the point of the light then? Do you if this version supports group messaging and all that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
The included messaging app has an option to turn the screen on or off anyways.

weather widget

i flashed this rom 2 times already it boots normal but when i tried to add the weather widget and click to refresh it the screen freezes and i have to pull the battery out. somebody else having this issue? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sasquatch080:
Yup me too. I decided to use another launcher. But I wonder why. Away from my pc right now to pull a logcat. Will do it next chance I get. Other than that, no other probs to report. I even like the transparency through out. Thanks Imnuts and Dwith. Awesome build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] YankInDaSouth:
OK, here's a little strange issue. My statusbar clock is not visible on my homescreens. Enter an app and it's there, exit to home and it's gone. Only tweaking I have done has been via TSM settings (other them add some system files i missed like My Files, music fx and Internet)

Not a huge deal as I use a clock widget anyway.... Just odd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
There is a setting in TSM that will disable the status bar clock. Maybe you shut it off by accident?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] YankInDaSouth:
Thanks for the quick reply! That's not it though ... I've checked all settings and no matter what I do the clock disappears on my home screen. Once I open an app it returns :what:

Edit: AHHHH HAAAA! Switched back to TW launcher and all is well. Once I go back to Nova it happens again ... Now to play with Nova settings :D

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawiseguy77:
Nova has a setting to hide the clock under where you change your icons can't remember the name of it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:


The app is force closing but the superuser app doesn't let it. Instead it freezes the phone and doesn't show a force close dialog box. Switch to supersu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
Have you noticed if SuperSU shows up for you in TiBu? Its not in mine anywhere. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
What do you mean by 'showing up in TiBu'?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
Like for instance to delete superuser you find it in TiBu and then uninstall. If you look for SuperSU to uninstall it in TiBu, its not there

Unless ive lost my mind (which isnt unheard of lately) it should be right there somewhere but it isnt.

Note: ive also checked the very top and bottom of the list (because sometimes they go there on a fresh install) its not in the list anywhere
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
Ahh gotcha, never noticed that. I know TiBu will back up supersu pro

If you never had SuperSU TiBu won't have it. It can only back up what's already there. Download SuperSU. Remove SuperUser from /system/app. Then flash SuperSU with TWRP.

Been running this ROM for a day now with the PBJ kernel, no real issues, love the options in TSM Parts. The only option I wish it had would be for no toggles at all. Toggles in the drop down just drive me crazy. I use a black background so the transparency issue doesn't bother me. Nice ROM, appreciate the work put into this. Going to be my daily driver for the foreseeable future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Nothing in any of those logs that points to an issue or a lockup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hajabooja:
Here is modded framework-res.apk that includes black backgrounds and removal of all transparency edits. You'll notice that stock apps open much quicker without the transparency edits. Credit to dwitherell for guiding me in the right direction to make this edit. Thanks!

Finally downloaded and did a clean flash along with the PBJ kernel, no issues here at all... everything runs smooth, no SU or transparency issues, no stutters or lag, better than usual battery life (also I don't use TiBu either so I'm gonna guess that's the problem for a lot of complaints here).. only thing I really miss from AOSP is themes but that's trivial, I wouldn't expect anything less than great Imnuts and you dont disappoint

I haven't used TiBu since early on in my Droid Charge days. Whenever I flash a new rom I do it the hard way. I wipe everything including system and data then take my time reinstalling all the apps from the Play Store.

The only issue I had was my phone got a little laggy when I tried out the Buzz Launcher with the Home packs. When I switched back to Holo it went back to running awesome again. I kept the widget and folder apps I found out about and now I have some pretty cool custom widgets. Also I switched to SuperSU just because some people mentioned having the lockup problems that I had on Tweaked 1.6. SuperSU fixed it last time so I just went ahead and did it. I switched to black backgrounds instead of transparent too. I just prefer it. Anyway it's all good here.

Thanks Imnuts. Good job just like always.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hajabooja:
Running great with the edited Framework-res.apk that I posted and icedventimocha's AOSP MMS. Thank you!

On a side note, I notice every once and a while that the SetupWizard is running in the background, know of any problems that may arise if I uninstall it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
Download and install Greenify from play store. You can hibernate all and any apps running in the background including maps and Facebook. I freed up around 250 mb of ram and battery life is much better. You'll love it. Installation is a little involved if you want to hibernate system apps as you have to install xposed framework also but we'll worth it.

GN II / TAP II
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hajabooja:
I use Greenify, but I hadn't tried it with System apps yet. I did read up on it a bit. Now that you've installed Xposed framework, are you having any problems where you signal bars disappear? You still have signal, but the bars just go away?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:

I have used the kernel before with never an issue. Any help greatly appreciated.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
It allows you to hibernate apps, with xposed you can hibernate system apps also

you might try switching to SuperSU if you haven't already

It sounds like you got a bad download, I did that too. Make sure to check the md5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] italbomber:
I dl both files twice.. thats why I am stumped. I thought maybe that could be it. ... hmmmmm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
I mean I downloaded it like 4 times, md5's were all wrong except the last time (obviously)
