bombaybadboy · May 14, 2013

When i first started to decompile apks From I9100 4.1.2 Jellybean deodexed Roms for Mods + Basic themes i found Threads Scattered All over XDA and thought someone should put them together or at least add links. Im Sure there are better ways with some of these mods but the ones i will post work and have used them all myself. This is my First Thread Attempt and i will make it as noob friendly as i can. Also any suggestions how to improve this guide or any other the Mods I post would be welcome because i only no what i have read from other threads.

Center clock in Statusbar

Thanks To majdinj & raubkatze
Decompile SystemUI.apk
If you want a center clock then go to /res/layout/ and look for tw_status_bar.xml
Look for

Code:

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/icons" android:paddingLeft="0.0dip" android:paddingRight="2.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/left_icons" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0">
            <TextView android:textSize="15.0dip" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/carrierLabel" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
            <ImageView android:id="@id/operatorLogoIcon" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/tw_stat_notify_operator_logo" />
            <ImageView android:id="@id/doNotDisturbIcon" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/tw_dnd" android:alpha="0.7" android:scaleX="0.85" android:scaleY="0.85" />
            <com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarIconView android:id="@id/moreIcon" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="@dimen/status_bar_icon_size" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/stat_notify_more" />
            <com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.IconMerger android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/notificationIcons" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />
        </LinearLayout>
        <LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/right_icons" android:paddingRight="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_alignParentRight="true">
            <LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/statusIcons" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
            <LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/signal_battery_cluster" android:paddingLeft="2.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
                <include android:id="@id/signal_cluster" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" layout="@layout/tw_signal_cluster_view" />
                <TextView android:textSize="12.0dip" android:textColor="#ffa6a6a6" android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@id/battery_text" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/status_bar_network_name_separator" />
                <ImageView android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
            </LinearLayout>
            <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_clock_text_size" android:textColor="#ff959595" android:ellipsize="none" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="3.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:includeFontPadding="false" />
        </LinearLayout>

Change to

Code:

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/icons" android:paddingLeft="1.0dip" android:paddingRight="1.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">

First i would like to thank churapa for his Guidence on this mod
So if it works ok Thank churapa if it doesnt work Blame me.

First decompile SystemUI.apk then go to res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded and find this line

Code:

<FrameLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/tw_close_handle_underlap">

Then replace from that line everything with this

Code:

<FrameLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/tw_close_handle_underlap">
        <include android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/tw_notification_panel_header_height" layout="@layout/tw_status_bar_expanded_header" />

Thankyou m8, afaik you cant use vrtheme for a single smali but I think you can use to replace classes.dex. Spannaa is really good with vrtheme, I only have used 1 once

Correct

If you're using VRThemes, the whole classes.dex has to be replaced if you change even a single character in a single smali file.

Similarly, the whole resources.arsc has to be replaced if you change anything in the \res\values folder.

So i cant extract only .smali files and put them in vrtheme like i do xmls. I need to place whole apk and classes.dex?

Just classes.dex

Say you mod a smali in SystemUI.apk, you just add classes.dex from the recompiled apk to the vrtheme\preload\symlink\system\app\SystemUI.apk\ folder
