[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
Brightness Slider Guide

For CM11 See My Guide - Here​

I have re-written the guide by [MENTION=4491442]evanlocked[/MENTION] with his permission as some people had trouble following his guide so I'll try to make it simple to follow steps

Full credit goes to him for the original guide and steps - All I have done is present it and re-write it in a different way to make it more understandable and iv also added steps for different layouts depending on what rom you are using

The original thread can be found

1 - Download the attachment and unzip the folder

2 - Decompile your SystemUI.apk with apktool

3 - Open the downloaded attachment and copy the files within to the following locations to your decompiled SystemUI folder

Note if you dont have the folder for the smali eg lidroid just create it

smali\com\lidroid\systemui\quickpanel

BrightnessSlider$BrightnessSettingsObserver.smali

BrightnessSlider.smali

smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar

SlideBrightness$1.smali

SlideBrightness$2.smali

SlideBrightness.smali

smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\quickpanel

BrightnessSettingsView$1.smali

BrightnessSettingsView$AutomaticObserver.smali

BrightnessSettingsView$BrightnessObserver.smali

res\drawable

brightness_seekbar.xml

res\layout

qp_brightness.xml

quickpanel_brightness_settings.xml

res\drawable-ldpi (or -mdpi and so on depending on your phone res)

brightness_bg.png

ic_brightness.png

quickpanel_brightness_icon.png

4 - Open res/values/strings.xml with notepad++

above </resources> place the following

<string name="brightness_settings_title" />
<string name="brightness_settings_automatic" />

5 - Open res/values/ids.xml with notepad++

above </resources> place the following (note cm9 dont add <item type="id" name="brightness">false</item> as its already defined)

<item type="id" name="title">false</item>
<item type="id" name="brightness">false</item>
<item type="id" name="automatic">false</item>

6 - Open res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml

This step will vary depending on rom so I will give a few examples

Example 1 - Stock Gingerbread (deodexed)

Under

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.NotificationLinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/notificationLinearLayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="6.0dip">

Place

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<include layout="@layout/qp_brightness" />
</LinearLayout>

Example 2 - CM7

If you have a header you can place it under it like this (note your header name maybe different from StatusBarJellyHeaderView)

Under

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarJellyHeaderView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView android:textSize="14.0sp" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/clear_all_button" android:paddingLeft="15.0dip" android:paddingRight="15.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="4.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="1.0dip" android:text="@string/status_bar_clear_all_button" style="StatusBar.ClearButton" />

Place

<include layout="@layout/qp_brightness" />

Or if you dont have a header or you dont want it within the header you can place it under the power widget

Under

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.powerwidget.PowerWidget android:id="@id/exp_power_stat" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Place

<include layout="@layout/qp_brightness" />

Example 3 - CM9

Above

<FrameLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0">

Place

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:background="@drawable/notification_header_bg" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<include layout="@layout/qp_brightness" />
</LinearLayout>
<View android:background="@drawable/status_bar_hr" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="2.0dip" />

7 - This step is optional and is for the icon next to the brightness slider

open res/layout/qp_brightness.xml

Look at

<ImageView android:paddingLeft="3.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/ic_brightness" />

This is the line for the image - change it how you like if you want to

note - to change the icon just replace ic_brightness.png that you placed in res/drawable-ldpi (or mdpi and so on) with one of your choice but make sure the filename remains ic_brightness.png

8 - Recompile and sign - if you are using cm7/9 sign the apk with a platform key using zip signer (playstore)

9 - Put in a flashable zip and flash in cwm with system mounted
