Learn how to do smali mods and understand them, learn the basics of decompile and recompiling apks, then learn how to theme. Theming a whole ROM is no simple task (this thread touches on some thermography aspects but not much). If you are talking about porting, that's a while different ball game and this thread doesn't really deal with that. However, there are tons of guides on porting in the Android General section. In short, this thread is for modifying the system apps that you already have, which doesn't seem to be your goal. XDA University is also a good place to start learning.

that was not quite helpful response, but thanks anyway...

I am working on getting some Grace UX interface back to my non-UX device (Samsung Galaxy Tab S2). This may sound a bit crazy, but like to give a try and see how much progress I can make.
My First start is, getting Galaxy Tab S2's SystemUI look like Note 7's SystemUI.

so asking here some crazy talented developers here to give me a starting point or some guides if all possible.

Looking forward to hear your suggestions.

If you want to try porting a whole firmware I got a guide here.

I touches briefly on certain things you may encounter on samsung devices. So far I had one dev sucessfully make 4 port roms out of this enjoy.

thanks, that's useful for troubleshooting, and may come quite handy.

my idea here is not fully port Note 7 to non-ux devices....idea here is make it look like. For example, N7's SysyemUI's qs_tile_background.xml, and then comparing back to my Tab S2, and making change accordingly, of course adding drawables, ids, etc...all needed stuff....and yes it is almost like theming..
I recently ported Not 7 UX TouchWiz launcher (fully functional) back to my Tab S2; I edited two smali files in framework.jar (scrollview.smali and textview.smali) file in Tab S2, copied bunch from Note 7's framework.jar...etc....(similar approach you had in your thread)
Now,I am going, taking a bit further, I know this could be pain in the b...t, but again if only make it look like Note 7 UX interface (like settings, System UI), I will be happy champer

[Guide] How to add Reboot Recovery to power menu With toggle

Credits for toggle goes to @tdunham main guid is here .big thanks to them.
Well... we'll modify framework-res.apk and services.jar
Remember red notes are for those who added torch or screen shot or screen recorder button before.
framework-res.apk :
first of all download framework-res.zip ,that is attached below, extract and copy it in your framework-res

services.jar :
extract and copy attached smali to services.jar

now open smali/com/android/server/policy/GlobalActions.smali
add blue line in # instance fields

Code:

.field mEmergencyStringId:I

[COLOR="Blue"].field private mRebootRecovery:Lcom/android/server/policy/GlobalActions$SinglePressAction;[/COLOR]

.field private mGlobalActionsFrameLayout:Landroid/app/GlobalActionsFrameLayout

find .method private createDialog()Lcom/android/server/policy/GlobalActions$GlobalActionsDialog;
add blue lines
Note: if you added torch or screen shot or screen recorder button before, remember to add blue line after them after this line :
iput-object v4, v0, Lcom/android/server/policy/GlobalActions;->mXXXXXXX:Lcom/android/server/policy/GlobalActions$SinglePressAction;
if you didn't add any of those 3 , just copy like below

Code:

add line in blue
Note: if you added torch or screen shot or screen recorder button before, remember to add blue line after them.
the green number depends on which mods you added before. if you add one of those three mode you should put 400 , if you added two of them put 800.
if you didn't add any of those 3 , just copy like below

Code:

.

now search for const-string/jumbo v4, "silent" and add blue line above it

Devs i'm also thinking about adding an animation like power off button. So if anybody can help, it will be great.
sceenshots :

I could not understand this last step. I should add android: defaultValue = "false" android: summaryOn = "Reboot Recovery will be shown" android: summaryOff = "Currently removed" /> in which .xml file? If possible, tell me where you put Great post.

Change Fota Upgrade Screen Background

malbert16442 said:
Today we will go to framework res.apk

Go to
tw_upgrade_dialog_layout
in layout folder

Locate <LinearLayout androidrientation="vertical" android:background="#00000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"

android:background="#00000000" Change this string to any value done

Static change.

If you want black im not a good themer but I have a progress bar bg attached. It gets rid of that nasty green progress bar bg with inverted theme.

res/drawable fota_progress_bg

replace with file attached (only for black) or help me out by posting whatever you could find.

Thank you for this mod

I can add to it a little more though. Let's say you want to change the whole background instead of just having a colour.

Here's what to do:

Decompile framework-res.apk
Add the fles fota_bg.png, fota_progress_bg.png, and fotaprogress.png to the drawable folder.
Change the fota_bg.png image to what you need. At the moment the current size is 1080 x 1920 (standard for S7)
Recompile framework-res.apk to get the value created in public.xml for your new fota_bg image
Decompile the new framework-res.apk to get the value created in public.xml for your new fota_bg image
(I usually do this seperately from the original frameowk-res I work on, and just copy the value from public.xml)
Go to res/layout/tw_upgrade_dialog_layout.xml
Before you just changed the number, now we change the number to an image like so:
Change android:background="#00000000" to android:background="@drawable/fota_bg"
Recompile framework-res.apk
Done

Enjoy

EDIT: I've also added a zip called fota_bg.zip which contains the before and after, so you can see exactly what is done.

They are controlled by the application ...

In res/valuses/colors.xml

Code:

<color name="quick_panel_artist"></color>
    <color name="quick_panel_artist_theme"></color>
    <color name="quick_panel_background_theme"></color>
    <color name="quick_panel_title"></color>

@a.raul its done it for multiple music player apps. I've already edited those lines in the stock music player and it stays the same. I'm sure that its in the framework now but I'm having trouble with force closes when I just change a few colors in the framework. I just changed my notification background color to a light blue for now so that the text is readable. Just don't have more time to spend on it at the moment. I'm sure I'll go back to it eventually though

jazzespresso · Dec 7, 2016

@tdunham and other crazy talented developers,, have a quick question:

when comparing two smali files (say you trying to get a mode to original device), you see this line (just as sample, could be more in the file) in one smali

const/high16 v0, 0x43870000

and other smali (original one you moding), does not have that 0x43870000, or sometimes has but total diffrent.

in above case, what you would recommend or how to resolve this?

@malbert16442 for the toggles text you need to invert this color : qs_detail_disable_text_color ( but I see you already did ), so what you need to do is : you should also match all your inverted colors & styles ( if any ! ) in all other value folders ( Exp : values-sw360dp-v13 & so on ), hope this helps. ( see pic btw )

@talkingmonkeys same as above ( see above pic ), do the same in all value folders in music app
@bunnys7679 no pb here see pics ( reboot menu has home wallpaper cos I've inverted my framework-res and made transparent as well btw )

Hi masters!.
I have a problem with my rom port N7 on my note 4 (n910f). When I select adaptive screen mode in screen settings and I use Samsung web browser ot Chrome the screen turns on pink color and I have to set Cinema Amoled mode or other mode in screen settings to resolve it.
Who can say me how to fix this problem?.
Thanks in advance....

Hi everyone.
When we decompile and recompile SecSettings.apk, clicking on Do not disturb time picker results to FC.
Now, to fix this we delete "touchwiz:timePickerMode">spinner......" from styles.xml.

In doing so, the time picker is reverted to flip-type timepicker.

I kind of prefer touchwiz's scrolling timepicker over flipping one..

Has anyone, found a way to fix do not disturb error without removing touchwiz's timepicker?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

No way mate, if you want use scrolling time Picker, you need to not mod values folder. Only working with layout modifications but if you mod values (strings, ids...), then only flip time Picker will working.
