[GUIDE][HOW-TO]Add Invisible Power Button to Status Bar

[dipesh1502]

Heya Guys Wassup

Today i Am Going to Teach You How To Add Invisible Power Button In The Status Bar

What it actually does is
it will add an invisible power button on the Clock on the Top Right of the Status Bar
By touching it once you can screen off
and by long pressing it you can access the power menu​

​

Ready???
So Here We Go:angel:

STEP 1-Pull SystemUI.apk from Your Phone

STEP 2 -Decompile it

STEP 3-Open SystemUI/res/layout/status_bar.xml

STEP 4-Find These Lines At The End

<ImageView android:layout_gravity="top|left|center" android:id="@id/rounded_corner_ul" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/rounded_corner_ul" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="top|right|center" android:id="@id/rounded_corner_ur" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/rounded_corner_ur" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.PhoneStatusBarView>

STEP 5-Add This Line

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:layout_gravity="right" android:id="@id/home" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/screen_lock" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/recent_apps" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_back" systemui:keyCode="26" systemui:keyRepeat="false" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" androidrientation="vertical" />

So It Should Look Like This

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:layout_gravity="right" android:id="@id/home" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/screen_lock" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/recent_apps" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_back" systemui:keyCode="26" systemui:keyRepeat="false" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" androidrientation="vertical" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="top|left|center" android:id="@id/rounded_corner_ul" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/rounded_corner_ul" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="top|right|center" android:id="@id/rounded_corner_ur" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/rounded_corner_ur" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.PhoneStatusBarView>

STEP 5-Save It And Close it


STEP 6-Copy The attached png to res/drawable-xhdpi and drawable/xxhdpi ( if available )


for hdpi devices add the png to drawable -hdpi

STEP 6-Recompile and Sign Your Apk

I just tried with my LG-P500 running cm-11, SysytemUI.apk and got this error while compiling it. Its showing "id with value @id/home" not matched", see the log. Appreciate your kind help.

Edit: Solve it by adding manually adding ids into value/ids.xml. Will try and see

Hmmm...one simple question....what if the user use center clock? does the touch point also move to center or it stay on the top right of status bar?
