Hmmm.. no you can't use one phone's SystemUI.apk in another phone... even if it has the same resolution. . Its not recommended to so.. you need to edit the xml files to make your CM's toggles look like touchwiz toggles if thats what to you want to do... :)

You can ask the person who did that to guide you to make one for your phone's SystemUI. ..

I am just learning to them apk's and have been royally stumped at this step even though I know I am going to feel stupid when someone points out to me what I am doing wrong. I have googled all sorts of variations of my question which has got me nowhere except to find this thread which I have bookmarked now because I have learned a lot already.

The step I am getting hung up on is getting the systemui.apk and the framework-res.apk from my phone to my computer. Using root browser lite I went into my System/app folder and copy/pasted the systemui.apk to the phones external card. I went into System/framework and copy/pasted the framework-res.apk to my external card. On root browser lite, both apk's show up on the card. Problem comes when I hook the phone up to my computer using usb cord, my computer does not see apk's even though all the other apk's I have downloaded show up just fine. I am through page 18 on this thread and it hasn't been brought up. If it has been addressed later on, I apologize

The first project I want to do is take my facebook apk and make it so the background is transparent. I can't wait.

Thank you in advance.

Happened to me on my GT-N7000, what I did is I sent it to my laptop via bluetooth. Dunno what caused it, but if possible send it to your laptop through other means.

One possible solution is to upload it to your dropbox then download it on your PC from dropbox. Cheers!
[Android Themes] joehanh88:
it happened to me sometimes. but i manage to solve it manually my using andro-zip apps from app store. What i do is i just put the apk inside the zip by using the apps then i grab it from my usb cable. By the way, u can pull the apk from your phone to your computer by using apk-multi tools.

Happy making themes!

I had never used bluetooth to transfer files to my computer by phone so gave it a shot. Everything went well until I selected where to send the file and I was connected to my laptop, but it was grayed out so I couldn't select it as the destination of me sending the files. Then when I went to device manage some driver wasn't installed correctly and it couldn't find an updated driver so I will have to mess with that later and get it figured out. Bluetooth was on and connected to my laptop.

I turned both apk's into zips and then my computer saw them and I was able to transfer them to the computer so that part is done.

Thanks to the both of you for your quick responses. Now to figure out how to make my facebook apk a transparent version.:cool:
[Android Themes] joehanh88:

would anyone know how to make the background on the volume menu black?
[Android Themes] joehanh88:
it was in framework-res.apk. But I've forgot which png is the correct one, you can trial and error.

- go to res/drawable-hdpi (if your device running hdpi format).

- find "popup_full_dark.9.png" or "tw_dialog_full_holo_dark.9.png".

hope this help you.

[Android Themes] :
Brother,

Go the Status_bar_expanded_header.xml (in res/layout).

Then change the very second line

<LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" [B][COLOR=Red]android:background="#ff000000"[/COLOR][/B] android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:baselineAligned="false"

Change the red part on that line. Select transparency level of what you like as stated in OP.
[Android Themes] joehanh88:
or you can change the color code to an images if you want to..

it's easy, just change the android:background="#colorcode" to android:background="@drawable/your_image". then you need to create an image and put it into res/drawable-****.

the **** is what your device dpi is using.

the best result for the display is if you create an .9.png. and the pixel should be 480x40.

good luck!

[Android Themes] tasosl:
i was trying of caurse to do but gives me error when i port it at phone systemUI not starts..thats why i ask!!
[Android Themes] joehanh88:
thats weird, can you after that change the value in res/values/dimens.xml, find this line :

<dimen name="status_bar_expanded_notification_category_height">28.0dip</dimen>

change the "28.0dip" to "0.0dip".

and tell me the result.

make backup first.

[Android Themes] iepurasu_poznas:
Thanks for helping me! Line of my systemUI.apk is a little different! What should I do!?

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/noNotificationsTitle" android:background="@drawable/notification_title_background" android:focusable="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_category_height">
[Android Themes] joehanh88:
so, the xml pointed at the dimens.xml.

here, go to res/values/dimens.xml, find the "status_bar_expanded_notification_category_height", change the dip to "0.0dip".

let me know the result ;)
[Android Themes] iepurasu_poznas:
I tried this method but remain without clear notification button!
[Android Themes] joehanh88:
LOL, you just want to remove the "No Notification" part just like in the screenshot, right?? i thought you dont need the clear all button also. XD

well, if that so, go to the tw_status_bar_expended.xml.

find this line :

<TextView android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_category_text_size" android:textColor="@color/notification_category_color" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/noNotificationsText" android:paddingLeft="11.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_category_height" android:text="@string/status_bar_no_notifications_title" />

- change the android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_category_text_size" to android:textSize="0.0dip".

that will just pretend like the "No Notification" invisible, but it still there.

i hope this solve your problem.
[Android Themes] iepurasu_poznas:
No luck so far! i want to remove text and gray background, but I want to keep the clear notification button!

no notifications title bar stay there permanently!
[Android Themes] tasosl:
i found the way to solve my problem thanks anyway for your time..:good:
[Android Themes] joehanh88:
let us know what is the solution please. :)

:thumbup:
[Android Themes] tasosl:
So if you want to remove the No notifications label you must do:

1) Compile the systemUI with apk tool..

2) Go to projects(of apktool)/res/ find the values and your language (like values el for my country) or try the first "values" folder / strings.xml (with notepad++)

3) FIND the line <string name="status_bar_no_notifications_title">No notifications</string>

and change >No notifications</string>

to a empty > </string> like double spacebar ;)

4) Save the xml file

5) Go to recompile with option11 select y when it asked you then it tells you to press any key DONT press anything go to keep directory and delete folder res and file resources.arsc

6) NOW PRES ANY KEY

7) You are ready to replace the original systemUI.apk with the file we just create..

8) DONE

BUT we dont have same statusbar iepurasu_poznas and dont know how to change the backround

Hope i help!!anything you need just ask..
[Android Themes] BoBCatRoM:
Hi, as you have done you should change out of all languages.....

tw_status_bar_expended.xml ==> search "noNotification"

</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/noNotificationsTitle" android:background="@drawable/notification_title_background" android:focusable="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_category_height">
<TextView android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_category_text_size" android:textColor="@color/notification_category_color" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/noNotificationsText" android:paddingLeft="11.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="@string/status_bar_no_notifications_title" />
</LinearLayout>

-change

android:background="@drawable/notification_title_background"

to

android:background="#00000000"

change

android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_category_text_size"

to

android:textSize="0.0dip"

so it works Gs4 i9505:silly:

Thanks for this helpful guide :D

But I've a question:

How can I make Time and date bar becomes transparent?

and Toggles Bar.

and Brightness Bar.

and Notifications:
[Android Themes] Madaditya:
The LOcation will mostly be

Systemui.apk or framework-res.apk in /res/drawable-hdpi*(your device resolution)

1.Should be in systemui named stat_sys_download_anim

2.is a png that names progress_*.png in framewrok-res.apk

3.Is notification_custom_background or quick_panel_custom_background.png in Systemui/res/drawable-hdpi

Ps: I refer to a sony Systemui / framework.Names might be little different

These png's are *.9.png's

Find them in the path posted above and replace them with more transparent ones!

Refer .9.png editing carefully

also refer this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46163363&postcount=1664

What's the worst thing that could happen??

Can someone please tell me the worst possible thing that can actually happen....... my phone doesnt support clockwork recovery soo i cant nandroid :/ I really want to edit my notification bar.
[Android Themes] SkyaTura:
the worst thing can happen is your phone enter in bootloop, i THINK it's possible recover that via ADB, but I'm not totally sure, try search about that ^^
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
The worst thing that can happen is that your SystemUI.apk will force close all the time. This is a major pain but not actually a major problem. As long as you have a copy of the original apk stored on your phone, you can get your phone back to normal. Just make sure you have a file manager installed.

Replacing system files while the system's still running can, on rare occasions, cause problems. I've had lots of strange bugs caused by doing this and the only way to fix them was to reflash the rom.

So it's a gamble..but not a huge one.

There is an app on xda that lets you do nandroid backups while the phone's running, by the way. That might help you out.
[Android Themes] SkyaTura:
Does anyone know how to make this possible?

[Android Themes] 3LvEn:
Awesome guide!

hey man! thanks for this awesome tutorial :good::good:

im learning a lot from this guide!:D
[Android Themes] SkyaTura:
I booted my phone with a bugged system ui too see what happens. IF you are in a stock rom(deodexed) like me, the worst problem you will deal with will be your status bar is gone, your wallpaper will be set to default, and you will not be able to get notifications.

If you install a file manager like root browser before changing things, with system ui you will not have serious problems. Just make a backup copy of your system apps and have fun ^^

And if your broken system ui insists to run at boot, will crash every 5 seconds but with some hard patience you can fix it with original one in hands

I think it's kinda impossible system ui destroy your phone, the real "problem" i know is bootloop but you can fix it at recover mode installing your original apk via zip

Sorry about my English
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Some of it should be possible. What does your expanded screen look like now?

Can you provide a screenshot please?

You won't get a bootloop. Even if you completely destroy your modded SystemUI.apk so it doesn't have a single bit of working code in it anywhere, you won't get a bootloop.

Bootloops are caused by a faulty framework-res.apk or other framework file. Android tries to run those files to boot the OS, fails, and keeps trying because it doesn't know what else to do.

A faulty SystemUI.apk won't destroy your phone but it will make it hard to use. So as long as you can get the original back, you should be fine.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So you just want to change your toggle icons?

I am trying to remove the brightness bar as it is described on page one (point7) of this thread and after having changed the string I recompile my SystemUI, push it back to my Galaxy S2 but nothing happens. The brightness bar is still there. The funny thing about it is that I had no problems in eliminating the bar on my previous firmware. Anyhow, this last one, for Nordic Countries, I9100XWMS1, doesn't allow me to get rid of the Brightness Bar :) The only thing that happens to me is that I had made a new battery toggle with UOT Kitchen using there framework-res.apk and SustemUI.apk that is my SistemUI was already modified when I was trying to eliminate the status bar. May it be the cause? As nothing more clever comes to my brains...
[Android Themes] SkyaTura:
Go to your decompiled folder and delete the Build and dist folder, then try build>apply meta inf>recompile and zipalign in this order
[Android Themes] laotzy:
What I had done before I could read your advise was to reflash the firmware again :D and then I started with my mods leaving the battery change in UOT Kitchen as the last step. This time everything worked out smoothly, and I did manage to eliminate the brightness bar rearrenging at the same time the order of toggles. But I will take into consideration your information for it might be necessary in some near future:good:
