[HOW TO] Add Ambient Display on Settings [Lollipop]

[raffaele88]

Hey guys! Today I'll be showing you how to add the Ambient Dislpay in Settings:

You will need
framework-res.apk from the rom you are modding
SystemUI.apk from your Rom
Notepad++ or another text editor of your choice
apktool

Ok now we can start

First decompile Systemui.apk with this comand

apktool d systemui.apk

Navigate to systemui/res/values/bools and open it with Notepad++ and change this line:

from

<bool name="doze_display_state_supported">false</bool>	
<bool name="doze_pulse_on_pick_up">false</bool>

to

<bool name="doze_display_state_supported">true</bool>	
<bool name="doze_pulse_on_pick_up">true</bool>

Save and ricompile systemui with this comand:

apktool b systemui

Now start to mod framework-res.apk


Decompile framework-res.apk with apktool with this comand:

apktool d framework-res.apk

Navigate to framework-res/res/values/string and open it with notepad++ and change this line:

from

<string name="config_dozeComponent"></string>

to

<string name="config_dozeComponent">com.android.systemui/com.android.systemui.doze.DozeService</string>

Save and close.....



Now in the same folder open bool.xml and with notepad++ and mod this line:

from

<bool name="config_dozeAfterScreenOff">false</bool>
<bool name="config_powerDecoupleInteractiveModeFromDisplay">false</bool>

to

<bool name="config_dozeAfterScreenOff">true</bool>
<bool name="config_powerDecoupleInteractiveModeFromDisplay">true</bool>

Save it and close....


Now in the same folder open Interger.xml with notepad++ andmod this line:

from

<integer name="config_screenBrightnessDoze">1</integer>

to

<integer name="config_screenBrightnessDoze">17</integer>

Now recompile with this comand:

apktool b framework-res.apk

That's it!!! Enjoy with your new mod

NB... Remember to insert original Signature after recompile APK,you can find in original folder on apktool​

In attachment file there is my apktool if you need

You need to put old signature inside framework after compile...same all mods when you use apktool

Delete folder values-watch

 

[gamer.11]

Please don't take me the wrong way, you have done a very good job of it but, won't ambient display keep the screen on? Ergo meaning more battery drainage? The reason ambient display is on AMOLED screens are because of the pixel independent display, but LCD is plain old ON/OFF.

Delete folder values-watch

Got it edited and compiled, but now it won't boot up... Any ideas?

 

[david279]

Anyone get it to boot? I was able to build but it gets stuck at the boot animations.

 

[nikhil007mmus]

Thanks a lot for the guide but it would be really appreciated if we could have a precompiled flashable zip of LRX210 stock version for direct flashing !! It would work pretty well !!
