[MOD] Various Carrier Label Style

[feed3]

I dont know if there's any other thread has been created for this but i didnt see it.
So just want to share this little thing to whoever want it. Anyone are welcome to improvise it and make it even better/nicer.

This is just one quick mod i did during my 1 hour lunch time.
This only for stock ROM or Custom ROM based on STOCK. You already have "compact carrier label" features if you are using cm7.

NOTE: 1st thing 1st, please BACKUP the file that we will change (SystemUI.apk from /system/app/)!

STYLE #1:

How it looks:

The "No notification" and "On going" Title is covered by carrier label intentionally.

The easy way:

- Download the file from attachment,extract it and put the compiled xml file inside into your SystemUI.apk at res/layout/
- if you are linux user, then just open that apk file, drag and drop that xml to the stated folder (res/layout)
- I dont know how to do it from windows box since i didnt use windows but i believe you need to open the apk using 7zip.

DIY way (you need to know how to use apktool, decompiling/recompiling an apk. It is easy, trust me ):

If you wish to do it yourself, then you need to decompile SystemUI.apk.
(i use apktool and method by TheGrammarFreak HERE that also applied for centering the date and clock)

- open status_bar_expanded.xml from layout folder.

- on the line 4, you will see

     <LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:background="@drawable/title_bar_portrait" android:paddingTop="3.0dip" android:paddingRight="3.0dip" android:paddingBottom="5.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">

highlight the whole line until line 7 that consist

</LinearLayout>

and delete it (yes, delete!)

so it will looks like these

find line start with

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/latestItems"

create new line below it and paste this code into that new line

                <TextView android:layout_gravity="right|center" android:id="@id/clear_all_button" android:background="@android:drawable/btn_default_small" android:paddingLeft="15.0dip" android:paddingRight="15.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="4.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="1.0dip" android:text="@string/status_bar_clear_all_button" style="?android:attr/buttonStyle" />

That is for "clear button". We repositioned it to the bottom.

Now, find line consist

</ScrollView>

and paste these code exactly below it

        <LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
            <com.android.systemui.statusbar.CarrierLabel android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Title" android:gravity="bottom|center|center" android:background="@drawable/shade_bgcolor" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" />
        </LinearLayout>

It should look like this;

That is for the Carrier Label. I made it centered by this line

android:gravity="bottom|center|center"

Save it and recompile back. I use TheGrammarFreak method to replace the compiled xml file.

Enjoy..

STYLE #2:

How it looks like:

How to apply:

Download file carrier_label_mod2.zip in attachment,
unzip/extract it,
drag and drop files extracted into your SystemUI.apk, inside folder res / layout

** Lazy to add ** Ask me if anyone want to try it themself, want to change any line etc. **

Hey could you attach your statusbar.xml with centered date?

 

[meme nin]

Thank you

Hey could you attach your statusbar.xml with centered date?

Sure.. SystemUI.apk attached. But, it is a bit messed inside.
and, many things are added to my like such as statusbar background. Im pretty sure you know which xml file to take if you only need the centered clock and date right?

As a side note, the background for date when you expand the statusbar will be black because i dont like it being overlapping with other icons,clock etc. Let me know if you need to find which line to change for that.

EDIT: Opss.. didnt read your post carefully. My head become a bit blur for the very long hours in front of my workstation. statusbar.xml in zip file attached.

I assume you made the carrier background to transparent, then align it to the right (to make it exactly like in cm7)?

I have done it before, but once you have many notifications, it will just stay there (i dont like it), but putting it into scrollview doesnt work either. Thats why I made it just centered since "no notification" and "on going" title doesnt serve any purpose to me personally.

Another style for carrier label added to the first post (scroll to the bottom of the first post to see how it looks like). Files required are attached as well in the first post.
