editing lockscreen xml file

i decompiled framework-res.apk, removed this line:
Code:
<com.android.internal.widget.DigitalClock android:id="@id/time" android:paddingBottom="8.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="20.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="15.0dip" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true">

<TextView android:textAppearance="?textAppearanceMedium" android:textSize="18.0sp" android:ellipsize="none" android:id="@id/am_pm" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="4.0dip" android:singleLine="true" android:shadowColor="#c0000000" android:shadowDx="0.0" android:shadowDy="0.0" android:shadowRadius="3.0" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/timeDisplay" android:layout_alignBaseline="@id/timeDisplay" />
</com.android.internal.widget.DigitalClock>
from keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml in an attempt to remove the clock from the lockscreen.
i recompiled, signed, pushed back to system/framework. rebooted and everything worked just fine. except the clock is still there...
any ideas on how to remove that thing?
side note, i am trying to make the lockscreen transparent instead of showing the background image. in that same xml i located the place where i should have been able to make this change. the hex code was "70000000". first two characters being the alpha code i thought changing it to "00" would make it transparent. instead, it made it black.. would "ff" make it transparent?

You edit the wrong file.
This is the one you need:
"keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml"

thanks. ill try later.

key 139 #FOR MENU
key 158 #FOR BACK
key 115 #FOR VOLUME_UP
key 114 #FOR VOLUME_DOWN
SECOND ROW
Specific application/action launchers:
Code:
HOME #Launches "Home"
MENU #Launches "Menu"
BACK #Takes you back to the last activity
SEARCH #Launches "Universal Search"
CALL #Launches the "Phone" activity and corresponding .apk or initiates a call
ENDCALL #Ends a call
CAMERA #Launches "Camera" activity and corresponding .apk
FOCUS #Initiates Auto-Focus while using the Camera
VOLUME_UP #Self explanatory
VOLUME_DOWN #Self explanatory
THIRD ROW
And attributes saying if it should wake the phone at button push to complete the action, or if it should just complete the action without waking the screen.
Code:
WAKE #Completes the action without waking the screen
WAKE_DROPPED #Wakes the phone to complete the action
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. NOW WE WILL EDIT SECOND AND/OR THIRD ROW
Erase the center row value for any key to completely disable it. To reassign the key, replace the center row value with another one from the same row. Change the right row value to either "WAKE" or blank to enable the wake function. Do not modify the left row.
NOTE: don't edit left row i.e. first row which contains specific key identity number.
FOR EXAMPLE I DO THESE CHANGES
DEFAULT VALUES ---
Code:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
CHANGED VALUES ---
Code:
key 115 CAMERA WAKE
key 114 FOCUS WAKE
NOW VOLUME UP KEY WILL WORK AS CAMERA KEY AND VOLUME DOWN KEY WILL WORK AS FOCUS KEY....
NOTE: all words should be in BOLD letters i.e. capital letters...

Also, do I need to decompile it using framework-res.apk or systemui.apk???which one??
Also, i have a Ace Duos(GT-S6802) mdpi, so dimensions given by you in twwallpaperchooser must be same for my phone? Right?

Yes you can replace apk's with root explorer...
I don't understand what you are talking of systemui.apk and framework-res.apk...
If you are talking of while Decompileing apk you will need to install framework-res.apk...
YES you will have to resize images to same dimention...

Sorry for asking about this but I think it will cause problem.
I have tried decompiling worked perfect. The problem starts when I recompile. After recompilation when I extracted both the apk's (original and recompiled one) some of the xml's which were edited are missing.
Edit: I used 7zip for extracting and compressing, but the folder res/values/ is missing . It is also not there in the original apk.

That problem is related to tool you are using so if you ask there than it might help... i can't help you much ...
Or try some other tool ...

i think now i know why you get those errors... use apktool to decompile apk's and when you compile them back open both orignal and moded in 7zip or similar and copy META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file from orignal to moded without extracting them... just drag and drop... and now you won't get those force closes...

here is the guide to decompile apk files my way by me... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1954886

Guide updated!!!!!!!!

Thanks bro, i'll try it

1. Remove (ANNOYING) SMS LOG from Call log
Decompile LogsProvider.apk with apktool or similar.
Go to LogsProvider.apk\smali\com\sec\android\provider\logsprovider\ and open LogsProvider.smali with notepad++
Search for word "SMS"
Remove the whole code. As shown below
Code:
.line 216
sget-object v0, Lcom/sec/android/provider/logsprovider/LogsProvider;->sURIMatcher:Landroid/content/UriMatcher;
const-string v1, "logs"
const-string v1, "sms"
const/16 v2, 0x9
invoke-virtual {v0, v3, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/UriMatcher;->addURI(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;I)V
Save the file and close it.
Now compile back apk file and push back to system/app.
3. CRT OFF ANIMATION.
Decompile framework-res.apk with apktool or similar.
Go to framework-res.apk\res\values\ and open bools.xml with notepad++
Search for line
Replace true with false. As shown below
Save the file and close it.
Now compile back apk file and push back to system/framework.
Now open your build.prop with root explorer or similar on your phone.
search for
add # infront of this line. Like this
save it and restart your phone.
[/LIST]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
your crt animation mod is incomplete....
after recompiling the modded framework.res.apk you have to put META-INF from original apk to the modded one
otherwise you will get bootloops
and mod for sms provider.apk is fabulous
thnks for that too:good:

[Q] anyone know how to move clock in the statusbar to center?

i want to move clock in the statusbar to center. but i don't know how to do it. i am very thankful if you can tell me the steps.
i'm using stock dxlf

First if you haven't already deodex your rom
then use apktool to decompile SystemUI.apk
goto res/layout/status_bar.xml and open in notpad++
find the line for the clock
change its gravity to center so it looks like the code below
Code:
<LinearLayout android:textColor="#ff09a9ec" android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@*android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textSize="26.5dip" android:textStyle="bold" android:gravity="center" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="false" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
</LinearLayout>
recompile
put in a flashable zip and flash in cwm with system mounted

iv not done it before and I only post things Iv tested myself
I can give you an idea - the rest you will have to work out yourself
see for example this code for the gps toggle
Code:
<FrameLayout android:background="@drawable/tile_toggle" android:layout_width="83.0px" android:layout_height="80.0px" android:layout_weight="1.0">
[COLOR="Red"]<com.android.systemui.statusbar.quickpanel.GpsSettingButton[/COLOR] android:textSize="0.0dip" android:textStyle="normal" android:textColor="#00ffffff" android:gravity="center" android:id="[COLOR="Red"]@id/quickpanel_gps_btn_text[/COLOR]" android:background="@drawable/quickpanel_button_selector_bg" android:paddingTop="58.0dip" android:paddingBottom="3.0dip" android:focusable="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"[COLOR="Red"] android:text="@string/quickpanel_gps_text"[/COLOR] />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" [COLOR="Red"]android:id="@id/quickpanel_gps_btn_icon[/COLOR]" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="3.0px" [COLOR="Red"]android:src="@drawable/quickpanel_icon_gps_off[/COLOR]" />
<TextView android:textSize="12.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:gravity="center" android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:background="#00000000" android:layout_width="83.0px" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="12.0px" android:text="" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</FrameLayout>
see the code that I have marked in red
change the com.android........ part to the smali you will find in com.android.systemui.statusbar.quickpanel to the one you want
eg
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.quickpanel.NameOfTheSmali
the rest find the values that relates to the toggle in the id.xml and strings.xml and change them
same with the drawable values for the pngs

[TUTORIAL][KK]JB style quick settings for KitKat

Inspired by AndroPlus's True Quick Settings, in this thread, I'll show you how to mod your KitKat SystemUI to get JellyBean style Quick Settings.
Files you need to edit
Code:
res/layout/somc_quick_settings_tab.xml
res/layout/somc_notifications_tab.xml
res/layout/somc_tabs_status_bar_expanded.xml
res/layout/status_bar_notification_tools_button.xml
res/values/dimens.xml
res/values/integers.xml
Requirements:
- ApkTool (I use this)
- Notepad++
- Patience
1. Decompile your SystemUI.apk
2. We must move the quick settings tab to notifications tab. So, go to somc_quick_settings_tab.xml and copy the Linear layout
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/tools_rows" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
3. Next edit the somc_notifications_tab.xml and add the above code and now it looks something like this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/notifications_tab" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:animateLayoutChanges="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
[COLOR="Red"]<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/tools_rows" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />[/COLOR]
4. To add the divider line which divides the quick settings and the time, copy this and paste it in somc_notifications_tab.xml below the Linear layout we copied earlier
Code:
<View android:background="@drawable/status_bar_hr" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/notification_panel_header_divider_height" />
It looks like this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/notifications_tab" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:animateLayoutChanges="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/tools_rows" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
[COLOR="Red"]<View android:background="@drawable/status_bar_hr" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/notification_panel_header_divider_height" />[/COLOR]
5. Now to move the clock below the quick settings, go to somc_tabs_status_bar_expanded.xml and cut this line
Code:
<include layout="@layout/status_bar_expanded_header" />
Paste it to somc_notifications_tab.xml below the divider line code. Like this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/notifications_tab" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:animateLayoutChanges="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/tools_rows" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<View android:background="@drawable/status_bar_hr" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/notification_panel_header_divider_height" />
[COLOR="Red"]<include layout="@layout/status_bar_expanded_header" />[/COLOR]
<include layout="@layout/status_bar_expanded_stylus_actions" />
<ScrollView android:id="@id/scroll" android:fadingEdge="none" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:overScrollMode="ifContentScrolls">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.NotificationRowLayout android:id="@id/latestItems" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" systemui:rowHeight="@dimen/notification_row_min_height" />
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
6. Make another copy of somc_notifications_tab.xml and rename it to somc_quick_settings_tab.xml and replace it with the original somc_quick_settings_tab.xml. So that both these files are the same.
7. To remove the top tabs [Notifications Quick settings], edit somc_tabs_status_bar_expanded.xml. Change this
Code:
<com.sonymobile.systemui.statusbar.tools.ToolsTabWidget android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
to
Code:
<com.sonymobile.systemui.statusbar.tools.ToolsTabWidget android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="[COLOR="Red"]0.0dip[/COLOR]" />
Also delete this line from somc_tabs_status_bar_expanded.xml
Code:
<include layout="@layout/somc_quick_settings_tab" />
8. To remove top space above quick settings icons, change these lines in status_bar_notification_tools_button.xml.
From
Code:
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
to
Code:
<FrameLayout [COLOR="Red"]android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/qs_tile_margin_above_icon"[/COLOR] android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
For single line text, change this
Code:
<TextView android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_tools_button_label_text_size" android:gravity="top|center" android:id="@id/tools_button_text" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/status_bar_tools_button_margin_bottom" android:lines="2" android:scrollHorizontally="false" android:includeFontPadding="false" />
to
Code:
<TextView [COLOR="Red"]android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/qs_tile_margin_below_icon"[/COLOR] android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_tools_button_label_text_size" android:gravity="top|center" android:id="@id/tools_button_text" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:lines="[COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR]" android:scrollHorizontally="false" android:includeFontPadding="[COLOR="Red"]true[/COLOR]" [COLOR="Red"]android:singleLine="true"[/COLOR]/>
9. Edit dimens.xml.
From
Code:
<dimen name="notification_panel_tools_row_height">100.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="status_bar_tools_button_label_text_size">12.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="qs_tile_margin_above_icon">27.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="qs_tile_margin_below_icon">17.0dip</dimen>
to
Code:
<dimen name="notification_panel_tools_row_height">[COLOR="Red"]57.0dip[/COLOR]</dimen>
<dimen name="status_bar_tools_button_label_text_size">[COLOR="Red"]10.0dip[/COLOR]</dimen>
<dimen name="qs_tile_margin_above_icon">[COLOR="Red"]-22.0dip[/COLOR]</dimen>
<dimen name="qs_tile_margin_below_icon">[COLOR="Red"]-12.0dip[/COLOR]</dimen>
10. Edit integers.xml
From
Code:
<integer name="config_maxToolItemsInARow">4</integer>
<integer name="config_maxToolItemsInGrid">16</integer>
to
Code:
<integer name="config_maxToolItemsInARow">[COLOR="Red"]5[/COLOR]</integer>
<integer name="config_maxToolItemsInGrid">[COLOR="Red"]15[/COLOR]</integer>
11. Recompile and Enjoy
About the top space above quick settings icons, niaboc79 said it was his code, hence I had removed that. Also it had some bugs (for me at least) that I could not edit the SystemUI again. Even if I did, it would force close. And I have changed it so that when you decompile SystemUI again, mod it, and recompile, it can be used without any force close.
So what's the difference between niaboc79's JB style SystemUI and my tutorial?
-With my tutorial, you can use "Clear" button if you swipe the statusbar with one finger, and you can use "Edit" button for editing quick settings if you swipe the statusbar with two fingers. And he uses other file (com.android.settings-res.apk) to achieve this JB style SystemUI.
And why this comparison?
-Because he asked me to close the thread saying I used his methods. So I deleted his method and changed it with my own.
This mod has been tested on Xperia Z and Xperia ZL KitKat firmwares. Should work on other Sony KitKat devices (I doubt if it works on Z3 and new Z2 firmware). Test and report.
Always take a backup of original files so that you can replace it when something goes wrong

Good tutorial! Thanks!

Thanks for this! How did you get that really awesome-looking blur on the notification panel?

If USB OTG function is present in your device, it appears. It was present in my device. I didn't mod anything to get that.
