Elaborating on geekabilly's post...

Go to unsafe side, and uninstall ss from within ss app. Then uninstall app.

Use Samurai's HOB to get to ICS, and obtain root.

Update SU binaries

Backup root with VOODOO OTA Rootkeeper and Temp Unroot.

Go into "system settings" -> "about phone" - > check for updates.

If the update is available, let it update your phone, then use voodoo to hopefully restore root.

I haven't taken the OTA, as I am very happy on CM 10.1, and have no interest in being stuck on stock. So I don't know if you can keep root, but if you want to get JB, and try to keep root, IMO this is your best bet.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] 1Stryker:
Worked!

This worked like a charm. My phone is currently on JB and rooted! Note, if it's not letting you get the OTA, just download it from somewhere else and place it in your SDCard. Then boot into stock recovery (volume up and down, select recovery, and hit volume up and down together again), then select update.zip and find your update.

Now I only have 1 more question...when I FXZ'd I forgot to uninstall safestrap from within the app. I believe this isn't a big deal since FXZ wipes everything. However, I am worried that this may cause issues when installing safestrap again.

Also, I only had safestrap 1.07 before I did this all. Does anyone know if a roms I've backed up with safestrap 1.07 will still be flashable in safestrap 3.11? I just really want to avoid bricking my phone because if I have to FXZ again I will loose root.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] herrsmoothe:
Open the safestrap app select uninstall recovery, reboot phone. That should do the trick.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] lemonoid:
Which method are you saying worked?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
The post by herrsmoothe.

The short version:

Use "House of Bionic" (requires 3 large files on PC and USB cord) to update your GB to ICS (should not lose any data if you do it right)

Root

install Voodoo's Root Keeper

When ready, do the OTA JB update

Then swap the file back to keep the root (see the above instructions)

Voila, rooted JB OTA.

After updating, my volume slider no longer works. If I change the volume, it just stays at the same level on the slider until you turn the screen off and on but then does it again.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondCh:
Yeah ,I had this problem also .I decide to factory reset my phone .
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parapaul:
One of the first things I did when I got this phone was to disable all the bloatware I could find. Once I was sure the phone ran ok with the apps disabled, my main reason for rooting was to remove all the unnecessary Xperia and Sony system apps.

Using Root Uninstaller, I uninstalled pretty much everything names 'Xperia[xxx]' or 'Sony[xxx]'. I can still see a lot of system apps but I don't know how many are part of Android and actually necessary to normal functioning of the phone. If I post screenshots of what's left, will someone who knows what they're talking about please point out what each app does and whether it's safe to remove or not?

I know I should have done a screenshot before uninstalling any, just for completeness... Sorry!

Use this tool, lots of apps have safe2remove label and you can start with that. Later you can search apps with sony and for every app there is small description what is it used for and you can judge can you remove it.

Just do not remove xperia home. It's launcher.

Volume way down after cleanup

Hi,

I've eliminated all the services from your list on my xperia z as well as some "Orange" specific ones using "Uninstall" (an app i found on google play where it is called system app remover with a red icon and a garbage can in it)

Now my phones volume is way down, hardly even hear it ring, even though the volume is all the way up.

Do you have any Idea which service is responsible for volume control?

Hi Hi and gongrats for your great work and your effort! Hats up and :highfive::good:....I tried to realize this since hours, days...yes even weeks...got lot of headaches and finally almost gave up....but now you did it...many thanks for it and for the guide and sharing your knowledge!!

I already got it "portet" to Galaxy S1 and Supernexus Rom...and it sure works :).

Do you mind, and do you give me your permission to use it in a new Thread in the Themes/Apps section of SGS1? I am thinking of title the thread for CM10.1 Nightlys as you did, but if there are inquiries from users for other ROMs I would like to fullfill them in that thread too. Sure all thanks and credits will only go to you and I mention you and your threads in the very first position of my OP.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Adi Aisiteru Reborn

You'v helped me soooooooooooooo much!!! Thank you for a wonderful guide!!!!

:good:

I have a question, you seem to be quite skilled in modding the cm10.1 platform. Would you by any chance know how to make the notification item bg transparent or at least replace it with a nice transparent pic? I've been replacing .9.pngs and working on both framework-res and SystemUI and I can't seem to get it done no matter what I do.

Any clue?

Any suggestion would be highly appreciated!!!

Thank you in advance,

Dax

CHANGE IT TO

NEXT

/res/values/drawables.xml

[Android Themes] Bejda:
Wow many thanks for the QuickSettings 4/5 columns how-to!

For me it's simple..if no QuickSettings 4 columns choice in a rom I prefer keep it up with power toggles.

Something could be added mainly for a 5 columns choice maybe, text on tiles appears often truncated with 5 columns so a way to un-display text on tiles would be great.

It could be done artificially too by changing tiles text color to be the same as tiles background maybe? I have no real idea about it if possible or not (maybe text on tiles is "same"text used on others parts?), personally i only made tiles backround color changes for now (since Rodman01 once talked to me about this ;) ).

Thanks!

Some tweaking for your mod :)

Hi Adi!

Did some tweaking to your quick settings mode. If you like it (or anyone else for that matter), here is how it goes:

Decompile SystemUI.apk

Navigate to res/drawable/qs_tile_background.xml

Replace the entire content of the document with my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#7f33b5e5" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#ffffffff" />
<corners
android:radius="3dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape>
<gradient
android:startColor="#7fffffff"
android:centerColor="#00000000"
android:endColor="#7fffffff"
android:angle="270"
android:centerX="0.2"
android:centerY="0.3"	/>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#ff33b5e5" />
<corners
android:radius="4dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>

The picture is with 4 columns. Since the mod is in XML it doesn't matter how many columns you create - it'll fit

Some additional things that I modded here:

res/values/dimens.xml

<dimen name="quick_settings_cell_gap">[COLOR="Red"]3.0dip[/COLOR]</dimen>

res/values/styles.xml

<style name="TextAppearance.QuickSettings.TileView" parent="@style/TextAppearance.QuickSettings">
<item name="android:textSize">[COLOR="red"]11.0dip[/COLOR]</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">[COLOR="red"]bold[/COLOR]</item>
<item name="android:textColor">[COLOR="red"]#ffffffff[/COLOR]</item>
<item name="android:ellipsize">marquee</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">6.0dip</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">6.0dip</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">2.0dip</item>
<item name="android:fadingEdge">horizontal</item>
<item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
<item name="android:drawablePadding">12.0dip</item>

Cancelling autodimming for transparent status bar

Thanks, appreciate it :)

One more thing I forgot to tell you. It's about the transparent status bar.

As you know, google introduced the autodimming of notification icons (top left) couple APIs back.

So when you set the status bar to transparent, the icons look dim and kinda transparent and not at all easy to see on any wallpaper.

In order to tweak the notifications drawing alpha, go to:

SystemUI.apk/res/values/dimens.xml

find this dimen:

<item type="dimen" name="status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha">[COLOR="Green"]65.0%[/COLOR]</item>

and change the percentage value to anything you want. Usually I'm using rather bright wallpapers, so I set it to 100%.

You can just increase it to whatever value you want and find nicely visible :)

Cheers!!!

Which rom are you using? And because of colored clock: check the clock line in statusbar.xml, whether there is the color hex code ff33b5e5 or else included?

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

I think you deleted also the end method tag, when you modified the method:

.method public getSystemDecorRectLw(Landroid/graphics/Rect;)I

Checkout whether in last line of that method: .end method is included.

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] maybe the colour code is culprit.

using different colour codes solved it for me. I made the same changes in android.policy.jar but a little difficult in systemui.apk.

Made a change in status_bar.xml --> from android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background" to android:background="#7F000000"

Made change in status_bar_expanded_header.xml ---> from android:background="@drawable/notification_header_bg" to android:background="#7F000000"

Made change in drawables.xml ---> from <item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff000000</item> to <item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#7F000000</item>

#00000000 - 100% transparency

#7F000000 - 50% transparency

#BF000000 - 25% transparency

@op: so I got transparent statusbar, center clock. But transparent lockscreen is not working, at first I get too many errors while smaling back android.policy.jar and even more when smaling services.jar, I somehow fixed those. Most errors were about missing " " sign to some words and some 'const/high16' something like this errors, I replaced those with the original codes and it got compiled and I think after that it wasn't supposed to work at first place after so many errors and my weird way of fixing of errors. Some help here?:eek:
[Android Themes] rodman01:
It is difficult to help without knowing what you did and what happened, or? :). But as I said, I did the transparent status bar and the lockscreen many many times exact as explained in op and with different cm10.1 based roms and different devices (you can visit my threads and have a look) and always got it to work with that Guide. Sure I made some mistakes in compiling or mixed up some file or what ever.....if so and I couldn't sort it out then I mostly started new, with fresh installed rom and do all the steps from the beginning...and finally got it to work....that are only my experiences and my thoughts...no offense and only reporting :).
[Android Themes] shreyas.kukde:
Yes of course you did it man :) I am not blaming you for anything, it's just my lack of knowledge which is getting in my way. :( I'll keep trying.
[Android Themes] Jarmezrocks:
May I ask what program you are using to do your editing of said smali 'classes'?

It may well be that you are using a something that has been encoding the selected text to a format that is unable to be interpretted correctly? A common issue on Windows using windows applications. If you aren't already I would suggest to use Notepad++ for your smali editing and ensure that you have removed the Windows line endings; Windows uses carriage return {when you press ENTER} and line feed ("\r\n") as a line ending, which Unix/Linux (and Android) uses just line feed ("\n").

Two ways you can solve this. One is to set Notepad++ up correctly to not malform any of your code with the incorrect line endings. Or you may run a exe (several choices) on your final code to ensure that it is properly formed. Google is your best friend here. But a tip, for going to Android you may use dos2unix.exe and from coming from Android (such as a bash script to the likes) you may look at a cygwin executable like sed.exe

Good luck

James

[Android Themes] rodman01:
Super and :highfive: and thanks for reporting back. I did nothing special or different as Adi wrote in his guide. What I do different is: I only change and modify the android policy.jar, instead of copying the lines from op (also see post 120). And according to compiling: I always do it twice! First time I delete the new apk from dist folder. Then I add in build->apk folder the original meta-inf folder and AndroidManifest.xml extracted from original SystemUI.apk. Perhaps this will do the trick or is the "mistake" you did?
[Android Themes] blueren:
Hmm, What i did was follow this guide for the apk de/recompiling. And copy pasted values from the OP's post. It derped all the 3 times.

So I'm pretty sure I'm fumbling in that part alone :/ Anyway, I'm going to keep you noted :P Sometime in the future if I update the rom, I might come to you to help me out with this :D
