[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
Thanks. I think this is because you are running an ODEXED ROM, correct? From your sig I assume it is pure stock TouchWiz, just rooted. You can try using my SystemUI.apk that I posted a few posts back, but you would need to rename SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.bak AND SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.bak, just so you get backups of existing files.

When I was doing it, my phone would reboot on it's own 5 seconds after renaming SystemUI.apk, so I only had 5 seconds to put the new one in there. This is where TWRP really helped.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
In your screen shot - The Nav Bar looks like it's hiding the very bottom of the screen - Does this mod take into account the presence of the Nav Bar - And shift the display up - ie; is the Nav Bar hiding the Dock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
Yes, this mod is an actual navbar. It does not hide the dock. I will post another screenshot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Thanks - And one other question - Are you doing this all on the phone - or are you doing any of it on the pc? .... I just read through the first page very quickly..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
I did almost all on the PC, only part I did on the phone was move the new SystemUI.apk into place. There is a stock SystemUI.apk I posted in post #6 if you want to give that a try (must be deodexed). If you do give it a try, please let me know how it works out :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Upstreammiami:
Anyway of making it transparent and also is there a way to enable 3 dot menu?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fredrick1213:
I followed your advice and it worked! I now have the navbar. I'm odexed btw and it still worked. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
I'm not sure about transparency, I haven't messed with that yet. Do you mean a dedicated 3 dot menu on the navbar; only when an app needs legacy menu; or the 3 dot menu in the apps?

Dedicated menu you just need to adjust the navigation_bar.xml in SystemUI.apk.

Legacy menu is on automatically when build.prop has qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

3 dot menu in apps themselves is also turned on when build.prop has qemu.hw.mainkeys=0.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
Sweet, I'm glad it works! Thanks for checking that SystemUI.apk!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Which method did you use - was it the systemUI apk from post #6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fredrick1213:
Yea, I used the apk from post #6 and I used an Easy SystemUI replacement app I found on XDA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Would you mind sharing the app?

Does the Nav Bar show up in the phone's system settings - as it does in an AOSP Rom ie; can you assign Long Press functions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fredrick1213:
I got the app from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2235956

I haven't found a way to assign long press functions yet, although I am looking
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Uhm - I used the instructions in post #2 - But no Nav Bar? - I'm running Wicked v4 :confused

It did change my wallpaper btw - lol

Edit: Rebooted the phone twice - On the second reboot - The Nav Bar appeared - ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
Glad it worked, but it changed your wallpaper? What did it change to? :laugh:

Edit: I see now; it must reset the wallpaper to stock I guess.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
I was actually running an AOSP theme (Cobalt) and it did remove parts of the theme, but the funny part was that the wallpaper was replaced with the Cobalt theme wallpaper, but the rest of the theme was gone - lol

I was actually looking to also make a small donation to you - but there's no "donate to me" link....?

You might want to add one, as I think that your systemUI mod will be very popular...;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
Added, thanks!

If you had a flashable zip for the theme, you may be able to reflash it after the new SystemUI.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Confirmation number 7L0894373S993441N ?

Yeah - I've got the zip for the theme :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] indecentspeech:
This is great, I hope someone incorporates this in a rom soon.

gakio12, what rom are you running in the screenshots?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
I am running Jedi Elite, but it's just stock UI.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] raw2000j:
Thats a flashable zip or just stuff to unzip?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Just use the instructions in post #2 along with the apk - you probably have to reboot twice for the Nav Bar to appear - Seen this with some other mods as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lmike6453:
I edited my systemui.apk step by step and it seems like I have the action bar but no navigation bar.

Any suggestions? I'm running Jellybeans ROM, long pressing home provides haptic feedback but does nothing/no recents

I also disabled all xposed mods, tried 480 and 360 dpi, tried phab7 force tablet ui and nothing

Attached is SystemUI.apk post decompile/recompile and a Play Store screenshot. I appreciate any help I could get, would love to get this working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] recepo1:
Worked perfectly just followed post 2 and now i have a navbar in less then 5 mins thank you

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

Im running jellybeans as well just follow post 2 and reboot after making the changes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lmike6453:
Thanks for the response. I tried downloading the .apk in post #2, set proper permissions, copied to clipboard, renamed active systemui.apk in /system/app to .bak, quickly pasted in the one from post #2 before the phone restarted

But still doesn't work :( w/ SystemUI "has unfortunately closed" crashes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] recepo1:
Did you enter the line at the end of your buildprop as well? I downloaded the apk , renamed the original systemui. to .bak and i was too slow so the phone restarted then i copied the downloaded systemui.apk and pasted in system/app then i entered the line in my build.prop rebooted and i had the navbar
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Are you running an Odexed or DeOdexed rom?

I don't think that it matters if you don't paste the apk - BEFORE the phone reboots (I didn't)

And you added "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" in the build.prop?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lmike6453:
DeOdexed JellyBeans build 5, Verizon variant(might be the issue since you guys are on t-mo variant)

And yup, tried with qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in the build.prop and also without it in there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] recepo1:
Im on jellybrans 4 verizon variant maybe build 5 has a conflict with this somehow
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lmike6453:
Yeah I ended up switching to Hyperdrive which has the nav bar modded in baked in the ROM.

Now to figure out how to combine the status bar to the nav bar/tablet mode ui since Phab7 Xposed Mod isn't working
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] recepo1:
Wow didnt know hyperdrive had the nav bar already included in the rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Danilynne:
What he said, lol decompiling looks complicated is it easier then it looks?

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

If I just download the apk and follow the above directions do I need to do all the decompiling stuff?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
If you download the apk in post #2 - And follow the instructions - No - You don't decompile anything - Just rename - move & fix permissions - add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 and reboot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Danilynne:
Awesome thank you, let's hope it works ツ

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Didn't work for me, maybe I did something wrong? It just made my status bar dissappear. Thank you though I'll keep reading through to see what people are doing with this.

Ok I think I just did something wrong, I'll be back, lol.

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Nope, hmm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
You fixed permissions - rw-r-r?

When you look at System - App - does it look like this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Danilynne:

Not working with DARTHSTALKER NOTE3 ROM

Anybody got this working with the darthstalker ROM?

I just followed the complete decompiling and compiling as mentioned in the Post first.

Here are some differences - USed this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2326604

1) After decompiling I did not see a META-INF folder but the AndroidManifest was present.

2) Compiling did get the same XML file and I left it as is.

Signed the APK and then followed the post 1 instructions.

I now get a black screen and notification bar does not work.

I did not want to try the Post 6 as it said it would not keep my theme.

Any ideas? Thoughts?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxSilent.NightmarexX:
Does this also cut the need to edit the systemui?

Edit: Nvm I saw what was in the zip.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
You need to extract the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from the original SystemUI.apk with 7z and keep it handy. Then you compile the apk after the edits, after which apktool makes a folder named "build" inside the folder with the decompiled stuff. Copy the original META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml into SystemUI/build/apk. Then, compile SystemUI again. DO NOT sign SystemUI.apk. It is a system app, and that makes it not work.

Thanks! Mind if I link to this post from #2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jovy23:
Surething! :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] truedis:
I managed to get this working on Jelly Beans ROM for the VZW Note 3. Thanks so much for the instructions! Flashable zips for that ROM here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
The main reason I wanted a navbar is because I feel that it is a smoother experience. The other reasons:

The home button is too difficult to press, making it feel clunky.

There is nowhere to grab the "chin" of the phone without pressing either back or menu on accident.

So I disabled the capacitive buttons, but left the home button enabled (don't think I'll accidently press it). I use the navigation bar for home because it can be pressed quickly and easily without making a click noise (also easier to press with the stylus). Then I used Winam Exposed to make long press of the hardware home button go to Google Now. I am still trying to get swipe up from navbar home to enable Google Now, but I've been busy with finals this week xD.

tl;dr - The home button is clunky, and I always accidently pressed the capacitive back or menu.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] truedis:
Here are my steps, hopefully this helps someone else w/ modding SystemUI successfully. I've used apktool 2.0 beta because it supports automatically copying over the signatures (AndroidManifest.xml & META-INF folder) from the decoded APK when building the new one:

Grab apktool 2.0 beta from here and decompress it into a folder. Go into that folder.

Make sure you have JRE 1.7. The command for running apktool should be similar to below but you may have to find the right path to java 7 on your machine (on my Mac it was /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java).

java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar <arguments>

Grab SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from your current ROM

adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/framework/twframework-res.apk

Install the frameworks into apktool's library

java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar if SystemUI.apk
java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar if framework-res.apk
java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar if twframework-res.apk

Decode SystemUI.apk

java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar d SystemUI.apk

Modify apktool.yml from inside of the new SystemUI subdirectory that was created so that it includes the touchwiz framework file as well when building. The usesFramework section should be as below (the new line is - 2 at the bottom):

usesFramework:
ids:
- 1
- 2

Modify as instructed in the original post. If you're doing this on Windows, make sure to use an editor that will preserve Unix-style line-endings like Notepad++. Do NOT use Windows Notepad.

Rebuild SystemUI.apk from the top-level directory where you originally pulled the files. Note the -c option which is VERY important as it preserves the signature from the original APK you pulled.

java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar b -c SystemUI

Go to SystemUI/dist and push the apk back to your phone:

adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard/

Switch out SystemUI using this great app from xda

You probably need to edit your build.prop if you haven't done so already.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] truedis:
Anyone know if it's possible to get swipe-up from home to open Google Now working with this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kellicros:
This is cool, but any chance we could get an xposed mod out of this? It could ease things up a little, thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
I have been looking into it, but I have yet to figure out where that function is actually located in AOSP.

I haven't yet looked into it, maybe someone with a little more experience with xposed wants to give it a shot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
I have updated everything to include the down arrow instead of back when the keyboard is open. Don't need to do anything different if modifying your apk yourself, I updated the attached zip. If you went the apk route, just install the new apk, and it should work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kellicros:
Thanks for the reply, i have just posted on wanamxposed thread, hope he could help adding this into his already great mod.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Don't know why I just noticed this - When the Phone Dialer is open in Portrait - The Nav Bar cuts off the bottom - It's not an issue anywhere else (that I've seen) because the launcher shifts the screen layout up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Does it do that on camera too? Just curious
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - Actually it does.

You can still use both - But if you want to change the phone or camera settings - you have to switch to landscape view.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
This is because those Samsung apps are a fixed size, they don't change dynamically. I wish Samsung didn't do that. Third party camera and dialer apps work though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
I have compiled a flashable zip and attached it to post #2! Now, if you have a zip theme, just flash this zip in recovery after flashing your theme! It may replace your wallpaper...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Does this zip address the Dialer & Camera issue - or is it for the people who had difficulty with the SystemUI?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
It is to make it as easy as possible to get the navigation bar. I'm still looking into the dialer and camera issue, I'm sure it can be fixed, just need to look at the xml of the offending apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
I know why I didn't notice the Dialer keypad issue before - It's not always doing it - I just rebooted the phone and the Dialer was displayed correctly?? But - If I switched to landscape view and back - the Dialer was cut off at the bottom again - Another reboot - and it was "fixed"...

This didn't seem to work for the Camera....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Huh - interesting... I remember the dialer and camera being wonky w/ this on the note2 which is why I asked. Thanks for the info :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CoogiMane1996:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diamantericos:
So I just tested an exposed mod that makes the nav bar fade to black when not t pressed. Does that mean we can use other mods like if there's one to make the black bar transparent ? So I found am xposed module called nav bar extender which made it transparent . But has glitches to black . Ill do some more searching and report back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diamantericos:
I used gravity box xposed module to make nav bar transparent. But that applies only to home screen not apps . I have to research more I also used the same module to swap recent with the back key more functional in my opinion . Gotta find a way to make the transparent system wide.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diamantericos:
Pic
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
Wow, so gravity box does work somewhat? That's good to hear.

The Navbar isn't transparent in apps because there is nothing there to display. That is how Kitkat handles it I believe. On the home screen, there is a wallpaper, so it has something to display.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
I believe the issue with the camera lies within the actual code in the Samsung camera apk, which I don't have access to because it is closed source. As for the dialer, I starting to think that is a bug in its code; a few other samsung apps do it.

Sorry I couldn't get it fixed :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HrBingR:
i9500

Just a question, I know this is the Note 3 forum, but will the flashable zip work on the galaxy S4? I9500. We have a similar thread, but no flashable zip, and it's quite a process to get done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
I couldn't say as I don't have an S4. You could copy your SystemUI.apk as a backup, then flash the zip to see what happens. If it goes bad, just reboot back to TWRP and move the backup SystemUI.apk back into place. The zip only modifies the SystemUI.apk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HrBingR:
Unfortunately SystemUI kept crashing. Ah well, worth a shot. Now to learn to decompile and recompile!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chrisrotolo:
what about tablet combined nav/status bar on bottom?, I think I heard the touchwiz launcher doesn't support it on note 3, and it may be over kill. I would like to try it though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PCTechNerd:
I just did a fresh install of Eclipse Note 3 TW 1.1, and then installed the zip in post 2. Upon boot I automatically received an error of something like #ffffffff has stopped. It would not go away. I went back into safestrap and replaced the SystemUI.apk with the one in post 2, chmod'd it to 755, then booted. Now I get a SystemUI has stopped error.

Any ideas on potential causes?

[Theme Screenshots and ZIPs] RED ZMAN:
Beautiful theme, but a few questions.

1. I can't find a "Apps" icon anywhere. Is the only way to launch your app drawer on this theme to double tap an open area and select Apps?

2. Most of the icons just take me to the play store. For example, click on any of the icons on Games screen, "Arcade & Action", or any of the others, it opens the play store to the front page for all of them. Does this one some of the others too. Is this supposed to happen?
[Theme Screenshots and ZIPs] DesignGrits:
Open App Drawer: Swipe up Gesture

There is no options available on this launcher or any other launchers to launch the Play Store to a specific section of the play store. The idea is to create your own folder or Smart Category in that space and just set the image to invisible. At the time I released this theme there was no option for Smart Categories yet, and there were no shortcut folders for games so there was no way to accomplish this.
[Theme Screenshots and ZIPs] DesignGrits:
Now you can create your own Smart Category and place one on each space with a transparent image. I have since moved on to a new theme so I will not be going back to add those folder. Users can simply add them very easily, unless the guys at Themer decide to add this to Themer Beta then most likely they will add it for everyone. At this point it doesn't seem like they plan to add it even though it had a very large demand for it on the MCS site and other social medias.
