[Q] Replace SystemUI to get rid of S5 quick settings

dartveiga · Jun 2, 2014

I hate the quick settings in the notification panel of my Galaxy S5.

I'd like to disable it. I've searched for an Xposed module to do the work, but the closes I got was a "Xposed G-Touchwiz" tha helped me to hide the S-finder and Quick Connect buttons.

So I was wondering... Is it possible (or will it work if) to replace the SystemUI.apk with a version from, let say, CM? I'm not sure what else the SystemUI do, but I've crazy seen people replacing it to get the S5 quick settings buttons.

I would appreciate if anyone knows how to get rid of the quick settings in notification shade of the stock Galaxy S5.

Thanks.

It won't work with a cm systemui.apk. will most likely give you a ton of force closes. There are many custom Roms though with it either turned off or the option of turning the bar off. Just pull the systemui.apk from these Roms and replace yours.

Hi,

I guess you did this in a custom rom? And compiled it yourself?

If so.. Could you share it maybe? I could integrate it into my Xposed module "Xposed G-Touchwiz" ofcourse with credits to you =).

Thanks,

Yeah! Thats sound sweet. If Xposed G-Touchwiz could get rid of the Quick Settings it would be awesome!

BTW, thank you very much for Xposed G-Touchwiz. It helped a lot!

Thanks, great to hear that. Only I have to wait for a reply from @Goldie or start digging in the SystemUI myself with no knowledge where to search..

I've replaced the SystemUI,apk from the AOKP rom, but I'm missing something.

What I did:

In folder /system/priv-app
Renamed SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.old
Renamed SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.odex.old
Copy the new SystemUI.apk to the folder /system/priv-app
Changed permissions of the new file, so it match the permission of the original file (rw-r--r--).
Reboot

It didn't work. One time I got the same notification shade as if I haven't done anything. Other time the notification area was completely gone.

The problem, I think, is that I don't have the SystemUI.odex file, nor could I find it on the AOKP rom.

Can you please enlighten me?

How did you get that? Share with us, please!

Its an option in my rom. The aim of the rom is to make people realise that they dont HAVE to use xposed. There are still people doing things the old way and modding the base files. The one in the screenshot is part of Kitkat style and you can switch to it or a whole bunch of other styles in one click.

For example you could have S5 style but then turn toggles off....

And then maybe sfinder off....

Or have a carbon look with toggles at the bottom...

If you like to change stuff to suit your taste you should try it!

Hi! You just sold me your fish! (Its a Brazilian expression!)

I installed Alliance ROM and I'm pretty much satisfied. Nice work you've done!

But it would be nice to have those features on a Xposed module too.

One thing that I dind't realize how to do is how to get rid of the second page toggles (the page on notification shade that shows all the toggles). As a suggestion, it would be nice to have a way to hide some of those useless icons/toggles.

Just for future reference (for those who tried), do NOT attempt to use SystemUIs from other devices/roms especially on an odexed rom. Thats recipe for FC's and bootlooops.

Xposed happens to be my only option at the moment.

Goldie, I would love an allianceRom version for sprint! Until then, how did you do it? I tried pulling the systemui.apk but couldn't find an editable xml. Any pointer would be awesome.

:crying: There is no recovery flashable for my SM-G901F for now.

Xposed IS my only alternative....

Keep the good work
