[DISCONTINUED][MOD][ALL VARIANTS] Miscellaneous Mods

[Zacharee1]

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST!!!​

This project has been discontinued! I no longer have the time or energy to develop these mods, and I'll be getting a new phone soon.
Anyone familiar with Smali is welcome to continue development. The Smali "sources" are the mods themselves, and the Mod Control source is available on my GitHub. Just talk to me first.
For future reference: this project was made for 7.0 Nougat, Stock LGUX. IT WILL NOT RUN ON OREO (assuming that actually comes).
​

DISCLAIMER:

I take no responsibility if something goes wrong. This is an unofficial mod, and is not guaranteed to function. It may leave you with a bricked device, however unlikely, or a dead SystemUI. In any scenario, you choose to flash this free mod of your own volition, and you also take upon yourself the potential risks involved.

-----------------------------------

NOTES:

- This should work on all variants. The H990 series is included, but results are inconsistent on whether or not it actually works.
- If it doesn't work for your device, look under the TROUBLESHOOTING section.
- This mod replaces LGSignBoard, LGQuickTools, LGSystemUI, SBSignature, services.jar, framework.jar, and framework-res.apk, and installs the 3Minit applications.

-----------------------------------

TROUBLESHOOTING:

- If you get stuck in a bootloop or an app-crash loop, see if you can grab a logcat, while dismissing the crash notification a few times:

adb logcat > log.txt

Send me that file, and I'll take a look. In the meantime, dirty flash your ROM or restore your backups so you at least have a working phone.

- If a page disappears from SignBoard, delete the following folders (after restoring your backup) under /data/data/ and reboot:

com.lge.provider.signboard
com.lge.signboard
com.lge.signboard.settings

- If you have a problem not mentioned here, or these solutions did not work, tell me, but include detail.


-----------------------------------

KNOWN ISSUES:

- Null signal icon always Stock.
- Stock signal icon shows 4G instead of LTE.


-----------------------------------

OTHER:

- Request a feature!
- Tell me if there's an issue. I'll do my best to fix it.

- If you're on WETA ROM and you're enjoying the always-on statusbar Immersive Mode feature, you can install this mod and keep that. Just run:

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*

To revert, run:

adb shell settings put global policy_control null

Remember to also turn on the following option:

Settings>>Second screen>>More>>Show time while content is shown

- There's stuff I've forgotten to mention here I'm sure, so ask away.


-----------------------------------

USAGE:
Anyone is welcome to package this mod into a ROM or other bundle. I just ask that you tell me and give some form of credit.

Q&A:

Where is Mod Control?
By default, the launcher icon is disabled. Access Mod Control through System UI Tuner. If you're using the tabbed Settings view, change to List View.

How do I enable System UI Tuner?
Open the notification shade, and hold down on the Settings gear until your phone buzzes (or about 5 seconds). Let go, and System UI Tuner will be enabled.

How can I edit the navigation bar?
Open System UI Tuner >> Navigation bar

[lightninbug]

Shouldn't this be in the themes and apps section?

 

[Pjs187]

Thanks man

 

[Zacharee1]

Shouldn't this be in the themes and apps section?

I didn't really think it was a theme, since it actually involves modding APKs. But I don't really know.

The themes and apps section is also for mods.

I'll flag it then. Thanks

 

[jinkerz9430]

yup... i think it should be under the "LG V20 THEMES, APPS, AND MODS" section. Nevertheless... Thank you !

 

[Zacharee1]

So I replaced the LG data icons with the AOSP ones, but it looks like I either used the wrong images (there are lots of similar ones) or they're combined/positioned differently in AOSP than in LG Stock.

 

[Zacharee1]

It looks like I can change the layout in the `mobile_signal_group.xml` file, but then SystemUI just ends up in an open-crash loop if I make any edits. Figuring this out...

 

[ZDeuce2]

Needs moved to themes, apps, and mods...

Read up.

I figured out how to get custom positions. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the data arrows. Hopefully I can get them working. I might have to get outlined versions.

 

[Zacharee1]

For the life of me, I can't find where the data arrows are being colored. There's an experimental build up that has white arrows, so you'll only be able to see them if you don't have full service.

I think for now I have to give up on fixing it. If there's anyone following this thread, what would you want to see AOSP-ified? Doesn't have to be SystemUI.

Adding color to status bar icons is not a good idea given that they are dynamic.

Well the data inout arrows aren't. They're just stuck white.

 

[Negan]

Dynamic! That's part of material design!

 

[Zacharee1]

Dynamic! That's part of material design!

Then why do they always show up white, no matter what? It's been bothering the hell out of me; can't find anything in XMLs, in Smali, anywhere. Is there a way to tell it to not be white arrows on a white triangle?

Open up android device manager in studio and see what it says. Thats the best way to find tricky things
