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

raffaele88 · Nov 17, 2014

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

Code:

apktool d systemui.apk

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

from

PHP:

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

to

PHP:

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

Save and ricompile systemui with this comand:

Code:

apktool b systemui

Now start to mod framework-res.apk

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

Code:

apktool d framework-res.apk

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

from

PHP:

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

to

PHP:

<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

PHP:

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

to

PHP:

<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

PHP:

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

to

PHP:

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

Now recompile with this comand:

Code:

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 · Nov 17, 2014 at 3:25 AM

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.

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

david279 · Nov 17, 2014 at 5:13 AM

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

nikhil007mmus · Nov 17, 2014 at 5:18 AM

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 !!
