[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
i could do something like that but it would take a boatload of time retheaming everything. i have developed custom roms before for other phones just not lollipop or touchwiz based roms. so i have the experience i just have to brush up so its going to be a little bit before i release a polished great rom thats how i started out with my other roms that i have made. im still working on making the base rom to start out with and then build up. if people want i can release what i have made as a pre-alpha sort of thing. its allready allright its just still a tad bit stockish.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
i got a quick question.If i want to install a mod do i just flash with flashfire?Do i need to wipe everytime i flash a mod?Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
no need to wipe if your only installing a mod
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
I have 1 more question. I know how to theme but never did lollipop before. I see and use myself the overlay stuff. Why is everyone using overlay? I was able to decompile and recompile the framework and systemui. I didn't make any changes yet cause I was at work. Can you not theme stuff like how you can in kit kat?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Overlays are awesome. Anyway you can't use theming knowledge from kitkat. Colors.xml is the same though. I had to relearn alot and found out how to theme tw lollipop on my tab s (other than reboot menus and contacts apks and such).

Overlays/rro/layers are useful because in those apks, they contain the changes needed so you can compare and change text as needed. Of course I have only know how to theme SecSettings.apk and systemui.apk as I do the same as you. (Old fashion way)

Send me your systemui.apk, secsettings.apk, and framework res apk and I'll take a look and see what I can do without using overlays.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
Give me a few and I'll post a dropbox link with them. So for a example, before I can go into framework and settings apk,go to values/styles and change all parent device default light to just device default and my settings and all the pop up boxes would go from light to dark. I decompiled at work today and went there and saw all the device default light. So if I change them from that to device default nothing will happen? Thanks for writing back also, I'm just trying to get a better understanding of lollipop.

The reason I ask also is I have a modded Pandora that works fine. Someone themed that apk for me and the themed one doesn't work and just force closes.

I have a galaxy note 2014 edition, here is a link to the theme I did. First time and I had to learn by myself. The rom I'm using controlled alot and overode some things and I had to use Wanam for some colors but the whole settings pages and some other things I did myself.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
For me I didn't have to edit framework. I changed the color of theme_accent in colors.xml. then in styles you change theme.light or something similar, and change it to theme.material. If you want a guide I can write one up. I'm not sure if the s4 active is different from my tab s but it should be the same for all. I'm not sure about dialogs as I haven't looked at the framework throughly. So far I haven only themed systemui and settings apk.

I'll try in the morning when I get up, thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
can someone please test this center clock mod. it has 3minit battery enabled in it. i need someone to test it installing it with the deodex zip and i need someone to test installing it after.. this could FC your system so only try this if you know how to odin

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952598789

i also have a zip to remove the battery popups in the attatchments. please also give this a test to verify it works alright.

EDIT: ive been modding away. i have attatched a zip to disable file signature verification. (so when your modding you can resign the system apps) can you guys test this also?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] pinyata:
Can I flash these mods if I upgraded with root not using the de-odexed rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
no you need to be on the deodezed rom sorry man. its a simple upgrade though
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Does it work OK? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
i didn't get a chance yet. I might not have time till later.

Mateo I think you need to install the the 3 mint apk before flashing. At least when I built it into my theme I did for my note tablet if you just flashed before installing the apk you would get system force close. I tried both ways just to test it out and I did have to install app first. That was with kit kat also so not sure if anything has changed.

Are these full system themes like dialer and messaging are themed as well?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Just systemui(notifications) and settings apk
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] NGD1:
Ah, alright

Ps: oh hey [MENTION=6568249]mateo121212[/MENTION] I had an idea for another mod. About about one that hides the carrier label? In the status bar I think it's easy something about decompiling system.apk and such, would be cool LOL
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
You can even make it custom text, back on NH3 I made mine say Skynet lol
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] NGD1:
That's funny lol, my "metroPCS" takes up a ton of room on the bar and doesn't seem to go poof when notifications come in, they all just overflow over the clock and such rofl
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
the zip should install the 3minit app also i had it install to to the data app folder so you could remove it if it needede to be reverted
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
i was looking into it last night.. i will probly make one. gotta figure out the logistics of it first though lollipop is diferent than kitkat

edit: i figured it out. i have 2 versions. the center clock and the regular. please test these for me they should work

center clock 3minit mod no carrier.zip

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
In case you're interested I was able to remove the safe volume warning for the headphone jack, using the method from the S5 unified mods thread
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
cool cool is it systeui? post it up
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Actually framework.jar. If you want please go ahead and make a zip, but every time I try lately I screw up lol. I have tested these all, I've just been manually replacing the files and setting permissions in root browser, which is what recovery zips do anyway.

And I modded android.policy.jar to disable home key wake (on lock screen), also attached.

And how to disable wake screen when receiving texts. The line that needs to be changed is approximately line 59, don't be fooled by the very similar looking line towards the top of the xml file. These last two mods are because I have my phone in my pocket a lot and I hate pocket dialing people (or even the possibility lol).

And SecSettings.apk with Knox version info removed from About device. See screenshot below to see what I mean. I would highly recommend before using this that you: use titanium backup to uninstall all system apk's with the word "knox" in them, then use root-enabled ES file explorer to search the term "knox" and delete everything you find. And double check those steps, Samsung is sneaky and somehow a couple of the folders didn't stay deleted after the first try. Shoot sorry the screen shot is too big I was too lazy to resize

[IMG="No Knox"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53984777/SettingsNoKnox.png[/IMG]

And How to add call buttons to contacts & dialer. Works just the same on lollipop. Would recommend a reboot (as for all of these), just as a rule of thumb.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
i made that a while ago just didnt release it. i was incorperating it in my rom. i can make a flashable zip with your mods if you wish. i will do it in the AM
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Up to, I've already got all these mods on my phone. I just figured I'd share in case you or anyone else was interested.

android.policy.jar attached with disabled home key wake and 360 degree rotation. If you want 360 degree rotation but to keep home key wake, the 360 degree mod from the S5 Unified Mods thread is working, that's what I did.

Don't use this one unless you use the previous android.policy.jar first
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
there is also a bool mod in framework-res.apk that allows 360 degree rotation just not on the stock launcher
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] wolf45801:
I just tried the android policy on the stock deodex and now my phone won't boot it locks on the AT&T logo any ideas
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
odin to ne3 then upgrade again to 5.0.1
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] wolf45801:
For the disable home wake I replace the framework and android policy files with the one on here?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Just android.policy.jar, the first one I posted. Make sure you set permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644) and then reboot, if you didn't do that last time that's most likely why there was a problem.

If you use the framework.jar, that will get rid of the safe volume warning. Do the files one at a time, not simultaneously (speaking from experience)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] wolf45801:
Yeah that's what I did wrong I forgot to set the correct permissions
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
How to sync chrome bookmarks to the stock AOSP browser

Very useful if you're like me and prefer that browser. You can find a guide to install the AOSP 5.0 browser everywhere now

Sorry [MENTION=4571792]wolf45801[/MENTION] that I didn't include the step to fix permissions before, I forgot and that led to trouble with your phone, that's on me. To anyone else looking at my apk or jar files, you have to fix permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644) when you use them, otherwise likely soft brick
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] wolf45801:
Hey don't worry about it people make mistakes that's how you learn from them lol but anyways phone is working great

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
Thanks they work good. I did the center with 3 mint and no carrier. The only problem I have if I try to click on user for those battery options the app crashes. Also the carrier is still there when on locks creek but after unlocking it goes away. Not a big deal but just pointing out.

Can we change the colors in status bar like in kit kat or no? Example clock, wifi signal and other stuff. I know the stuff is in systemui.apk.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
remove carrier on lock screen is different mod. clock can be changed easly. wifi and signal not so much

the 3minit mod maby needs to be a system app? i didnt make it a system app cuz there a test
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
It's definitely not a big deal, you can still pick plenty of other ones . It seems like all the other options worked besides the Battery's in user one. With the wifi and other things you can't just color the png in system ui then? I guess I really need to start reading up on how to theme lollipop. It sucks it's so different then kit kat cause I must have spent 40 to 50 hours reading and learning and trial and error. Now I gotta start over again. Thanks for all your work also and will you be coming out with the data toggle soon?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
you could color PNGs but that would take alot of time and effort... im trying to figure out the data toggle stuff
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
Ok not really that much time, I know how to batch edit them all with photoshop. I'm going to try later if I get some time.

So I just messed around with system ui for a few and was able to change the WiFi png and color the clock and some other things in status bar. I can definitely theme everything and change all the colors. If I make a theme can you make a zip for it? I only tried a few things cause I wanted to make sure it worked. I'll attach a screenshot. I need to do at my work computer cause its alot faster. I can definitely theme all the status bar icons and a ton of other things.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
yea no problem i can make a zip
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:

[MENTION=5978945]DUHAsianSKILLZ[/MENTION] any chance I could bother you to make a custom boot animation? That LCARS one you made for the Tab 4 was pretty sweet, but anything you would feel like throwing together would be much appreciated. No worries if you don't feel like it. Please and thank you (no matter what) :)

The attached services.jar has USB Plug/Unplugged Screen Wake disabled (tested). Remember to set permissions to 0644 anyone looking to try this.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
It should work fine on any samsung device. Just make a backup. I haven't seen any phone versions as the zip had tablet pictures
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Lol yeah I wasn't sure if it was safe to try. It worked OK, just doesn't look too great (wrong resolution or size or something, plus the shut down logo is oriented landscape instead of portrait). No big deal, thanks for letting me know it was safe to try :good:

Here is one that is more or less the same as stock, minus the AT&T screen. As always you can replace PowerOn.ogg with any ogg of your own, just fix permissions (mine's the Star Wars theme for now)

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
The linked to post says, and I quote:

From the little I know about what's going on behind the scenes with this mod, you have to enter it in exactly like that, case sensitive (i.e. the exact same capital and lower case letters) and of course don't forget to follow it with a semicolon

I just found Joe-Tech's progress on a Pure-Nexus/Google Play Edition type rom for 5.0.1. Link. THIS IS NOT EVEN WORKING PROPERLY FOR THE REGULAR S4, i.e. the phone it's actually made for, so it's certainly not going to work properly for this phone. That said, on the regular S4 it boots but causes non-stop force closes, if I read correctly. If you don't know how to recover from a soft brick or edit an updater-script, do not touch this file, just back away slowly, there be dragons. For those of you who know what they're doing, anyone wanna see if we can get this working on our phone? No disrespect meant to Joe-Tech, he's been a godsend for this phone, but I hear he's away taking care of real-life issues, and I wish him all the best.

[MENTION=3047491]Devo7v[/MENTION] I am sorry to bother you for what must be like the millionth time, but you wouldn't happen to have any insight would you? I know you don't have this phone any more and probably have better things to worry about but you consistently have good advice for us. No worries if you don't respond.

Edit: So I guess at least one of the reasons every attempt of mine has failed before today is that apparently you're supposed to flash the stock partitions file when trying to flash an AOSP rom through FF. I doubt that's the only reason I've been unsuccessful, but now I know. Good thing I held onto the stock OC6 partitions file and never deleted it.

Editt: I'm seeing a stock google boot animation for the first time ever... :fingers-crossed: Unfortunately after 15 minutes I think it's safe to say it's a bootloop. Oh well, a tiny bit of progress. I'll be stubborn and try that other rom I mentioned before with the partition file now. No go on that one not even a boot animation
