Customize color of quick settings panel

[hasenbein1966]

Hello folks,

I don't quite like the blue color of the quick settings panel background on the Tab S2.

Is there any possibility to customize that color? (E.g., to a blackish or grey one?)

Wanam Xposed lets me customize several colors, but not this one...

Yes. You need to edit xml files in systemui.apk. I have the diffs from the s6 if you want to see. Should be about the same. Pm me, and I'll also try to post here, when I get a chance.

So, you need to edit values in "status_ bar_expanded_header.xml", found in res/layout, and "colors.xml", found in res/values.

In status bar_exapnded_header.xml, change the value in red (its right at the top) to the hex color of your choice. Your's will be a bit different, as this is from the S6:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.StatusBarHeaderView android:layout_gravity="clip_horizontal" android:id="@id/header" android:background="[COLOR="Red"]@drawable/notification_header_bg[/COLOR]" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants" android:layout_width="@dimen/notification_panel_width" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_header_height" android:baselineAligned="false" android:paddingStart="@dimen/notification_side_padding" android:paddingEnd="@dimen/notification_side_padding"

In colors, change the value for the following to the color you want:

<color name="notification_header_bg_tw">

There are more changes you can make in colors.xml (e.g., button color, etc.), and they should be apparent once you get in there...

I attach a status_bar_exanded_header.xml and colors.xml from an "AOSP-style" notification/quick settings area I did for the s6 for your reference.

Please feel free to ask in the thread or via PM if you need help on this. I may release a ROM with some theme options, but I am not sure, as I haven't released one in years and am not sure I have the time to properly maintain it. If I do, or even make one for my own use, I'll post the SystemUI.apk.

On my T813, the file "status_bar_expanded_header.xml" doesn't have a line like you have in red, and the color.xml file doesn't exist in res/values. Any idea what's up with that?

I'm using GoodLock and mine and I managed to make the status bar completly black. Here's a link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/good-lock/

Stuck on goodlock

I installed GoodLock as suggested as well, but nothing seems different after restart; no app in drawer, no settings anywhere, can't uninstall it...any help is welcome.

I think there should be a possibility to run this app using any activity manager from playstore.
