Here is just a screenshot of the new Notifications Panel, it looks like our old one but, believe me, that's what it looks like on the S4, based on some latest videos, screenshots and firmware leaks. :good:

What font you used when making the inscription "life companion"?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
I'm sorry but I don't know what that Font is. I just opened a Galaxy S4 picture with around 8000pixels height (really high resolution) in Photoshop, and I took the Life Companion text and made it a single image. Of course I did that process carefully to avoid pixelation of the edges and other issues. I have uploaded that image for you. You'll find the link below. To use it, just add an ImageView(I think I gave you the ImageView code), and remember to resize the image to fit your phone(480x? for example, because my GSA is 800x480, you need to fit the width)! Or you'll get a bootloop, as I remember. I gave you the full image instead of the resized one because you may want to use it on a different resolution.

Ask me again if you have any Q's. Also, may I ask you why do you want all that info? I'm just curious cause your first post was on my thread, and you don't seem to be a newbie :highfive:.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
Good luck! :highfive:

But he's not from our community. And I would be glad if someone could use my "knowledge"(:confused::o) to make something for his community. There is also a ROM in Samsung Galaxy SII forums that uses my work. :cowboy: It definitely makes me happy. :)

I saw it too when looking for features to add.It has white backgrounds. :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
Lockscreen will change based on an new image that I found in S4's SecSettings.apk. I guess that in GS4 you can switch between different Lockscreen Styles, the second one is the one you see below. I decided to switch to this because it's easier and I can make ours to look 99% like this(in terms of clock, date and such since I can't add the Lockscreen Widgets functionality :p). I have already finished it. I only need to better align the Date and Charging/Life companion/Owner info(Yeah, those three are the same object), PLUS you can change or hide the Life Companion text to whatever you want since it's the "Owner Info" option in Lockscreen Settings! What more can you ask for? :victory:

It's beautiful, isn't it?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] GeoVali99:
Can this be used with the ink effect and possibly the weather on lock screen?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
Yes, it is working absolutely great with Ink Effect. You need to install Ink Effect first and this Advance Galaxy second.

Now, about the Weather, I have no idea what you are talking about. Is there any weather on lockscreen? :confused:

P.S. This is a screenshot of my mod on top of Ink Effect.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] GeoVali99:
It can be enabled by decompiling secsettings.apk if I remember correctly.Ace 2 has it by default.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
Hmmm, I'll check that. It will work, probably. And it will also work on top of every mod like TabletUI and others.

Hey [MENTION=4034307]Koulis2000[/MENTION] do you use APK Multi-Tool for Compiling, De-compiling and Theming apps????
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] atishey23:
[MENTION=4973416]koulis[/MENTION]If yes then how do you sign them? I don't know how to sign them. And when i tried it failed every time for me.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] GeoVali99:
System apps don't need to be signed.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
Yes!!!

Look, if the app you want to theme is a /system/app .apk then you don't need to sign in, you just compile it as a system .apk. Choose your project by typing 24, then choose the desired project by typing it's number, then type 11 to compile it, when asked, type yes(y), you will find a keep folder inside the APK Multi-Tool folder, open it, delete resources.arsc and every other file that you have edited, whether it's an .xml or .png. Note that .xmls inside the values folder will not show up in keep folder, the values are actually the resources.arsc and it's better to always delete it from the keep folder. Then hit any key on the window, and find your almost-ready-to-push .apk(that's just a stupid name I have given to it right now), you now only need to rename it to it's original name(just delete the unsigned from the whole name).

I haven't signed any installable .apk, like Facebook or something, but I guess to do this, the process is that:

Do whatever mentioned above, except renaming, and when finished, copy(COPY, NOT MOVE) the unsignedBlahblah.apk inside the "place .apk here for signing" folder, then just hit 4 and you are ready!!!

If you both have any questions or minor problems just ask me. :good:

P.S. I wrote that on phone so excuse me for any mistakes. :D

As for weather on lock screen, in framework-res.apk in values, bools.xlm you find this:

<bool name="config_isWeatherWidgetEnabled">true</bool>

it is false by default. but changing it to true gives you option in the settings of lockscreen to turn on weather for lock screen. when you press on the option, it causes settings to FC and if it is turned on, on the lock screen it says "cannot show data". I believe there is other xml's to edit but haven't found them yet. There is this tutorial from the SIII forum but I haven't gotten it to work. get errors when recompling framework-res. oh well, maybe you can get it to work :) just sayin'.....

Thanks [MENTION=4034307]Koulis2000[/MENTION]...

I had a query is it possible to sign a non-system apk with the same signature avoiding the error in the attachments (screenshot).

If yes then how???

Please help...

Regards,

Chirag.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
Thanks a lot! But since it messes up with framework resources.arsc(values), I can't work on it right now. I have also seen something in keyguard_circlelock_clockwidget.xml about a "weather" object, it had an attribute [android:visibility="gone"], deleting that might make it work maybe, probably not but you could try it.

There is an option for "signing a non-system .apk but I don't know how it works because I only work with system .apks. It should not be hard for you to do it though.

P.S.(For both of you) I'm sorry that I can't try anything right now. I'm leaving for vacations soon and I am working hard to bring the new version. I can't work on anything else.

Hey [MENTION=4034307]Koulis2000[/MENTION],

Which option do you use for decompiling ?

I mean 9 or 10 in the APK multi-tool for system apks??

I installed all the dependencies using the PULL-DEPENDENCIES option in setup...

Am i doing wrong in certaiin step..?

Please help...

Regards,

Chirag.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
Look, personally I don't use pull or push using any program.

To install the dependencies I have the deodexed system by frapeti, and just copy framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk inside the "other" folder, then you open the setup.bat, select option 2, install framework-res with option 1 and then twframework-res with option 2.

This is how I install the dependencies.

Then I just use option 9 to decompile.

Ask me if you don't understand something or for more help.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] panda00:
Okay, so a few questions, what are the dimensions of the image I need to make, I'm guessing 480xsomething.

Oh and how do I make it point to an image instead of a color?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Mcgood:
The gray i like samsung, used to it. From want. Thank you!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
OK, you are guessing right. The dimensions are 480x38, exactly. But the dimensions I did it were 480x50. I don't know why, just to be sure.

You can make it 480x40 maybe, it will even accept 500x500! but it will stretch it to fit the layout, be aware of that.

(Now, I made something different, I gave my image the "android_custom1.png" name because I didn't want to edit one that already exists, and, by giving this name you will always see your image at the top of the drawable-hdpi folder for easy access.)

So, give your image a name like "android_custom1.png", "android_custom_status_bar.png" or something like that, and place it on /res/drawable-hdpi folder.

To make the android choose the image instead of a color, go to /res/layout/ and open tw_status_bar.xml, you will see the first lines to be like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.PhoneStatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/status_bar" android:background="#????????" android:focusable="true"

and change the "#????????" to "@drawable/android_custom1", "@drawable/android_custom_status_bar" or to the name you gave it, don't add the .png extension on the .xml. So do NOT change it to something like this "@drawable/android_custom1.png"

You understand me? If you have any other questions you can ask.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] panda00:
Thanks a lot buddy.

Sorry for wasting your time with all of this though :mad:

Four things:

1 - Great idea!

2 - The toggle icons are HUGE, it's ugly :x

3 - I think the Blue gradient should be the other way (the dark color at the top, and not at the bottom)

4 - Your forgot to make the text with the battery status white. It's still gray
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
Yeah I know, I will fix the Toggles and the battery text soon. About the Blue gradient, I don't know, maybe. I'll check it though.

Re: [THEME/MOD] Advance Galaxy [LQ4][31/03/2013]

well, if you are pro enough about the UI, actually plenty things you can just use an image for the display rather then use the xml.. :p

I'm now in my experiment for it.. I will just use xml to set the dimension of the display, and I create an .9patch image.. even the image that I created is in big resolution, the xml will keep the real display to be not stretched or narrowed.. so far, my experiment goes well :D

and thanks to the .9patch.. :)

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
Re: [THEME/MOD] Advance Galaxy [LQ4][31/03/2013]

Exactly! .9 patch is great for many reasons, and there are also some hidden attributes of .9 patch, I saw them in an HTC One ROM. I'll try it once. .9patch can be used for anything related on backgrounds and big buttons, but not icons I guess.

Bonus: Here is a tiny peek at the framework, there are so many problems yet, and so many unfinished colors and icons, but even now it looks great. Note that all the backgrounds will be white. I just haven't done so many things yet. I only ported some icons to our resolution and copied over some .9.pngs, but those have problems.

P.S. I have created the basic framework. But I have some problems with the text. I'll upload it here for the users to test, maybe.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] panda00:
So you successfully shifted the clock to the left? Which files did you edit?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
Who's crazy about the new Clockie?:victory:

I have just finished it, after working for a couple of hours(actually, I'm working three days on this), I have managed to "Theme" the stock Jelly Bean Digital Clock Widget to look like the one on the Galaxy S4. I've used an image to look at, and a couple of files from the original S4 Digital Clock Widget, but making it look nice was a nightmare since the layouts were designed for an xxhdpi device.

Should I share it separately too? Or just add it as an Advance Galaxy exclusive? ;)

Also, do you like it? :confused:

I've only used Photoshop to edit the Vertical Line that splits the Clock from the others, and the Horizontal Line that splits Day from Date. Nothing more. Oh, and the Clock Font Images. Everything else was made by changing, adding, moving and deleting .xml attributes in layouts.

And those lines were just Pixel Editing, Pixel by Pixel, I could even do it in MS Paint. :D

See the change log, it's detailed.

No, the newer version is only black. Maybe I will create a flashable to turn it to White.

If you want to only install the files you mentioned above, download the V5. Open it, browse in the vrtheme/system folder, delete the framework folder, open the app folder and delete the SecSettings.apk folder. Then flash it and you will have what you want.

Appreciate this awesome theme!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] panda00:
The theme really does make the phone look and feel different and just overall more fancy.

I would suggest decompiling the relevant apk's and copying Koulis's drawables and xml's to your APK, and check to see if that works.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
Version V5 will work as is on the Ace II. Just flash and test.

I can't answer you right now. :(

The resources.arsc on framework could be used to add a custom Life Companion image, but, as I changed the lockscreen I don't have to do it.

The resources.arsc on SecSettings could be used to make the settings with White background and such.

Although you can test it on Ace II, if it works fine, you can start a thread and maintain it.

V5 does not have any .apks, except the clock. To port this theme to another phone you just need to copy my files from the .zip inside the proper .apks, and then just push into /system/

Thanks!

You must have done something wrong. :/

I don't know what to name it, it is just a .png changed, for the little light on your finger. If you tall about the whole lockscreen, it is just created by me and I don't have a name for it. Maybe, "Fake Galaxy S4 Lockscreen", because it's based on the GS4 one :P

VRT will work on every firmware. Check "Notes:" section.

Maybe it's that you have previously installed V4

You flashed the Only-Lockscreen

file from miscellaneous.

It should work with Ink Effect. I have no idea why this isn't working. Well, I need more answers from other users too.

Also, to install this, you need to have some free space in /system storage for the files to be copied.
