[Request] Theming Stock System UI-Canadian Base - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

*Edit is there a System UI I could pull from a rom that has the below mods? If not, I will be offering a bounty of $20 Cdn for anyone who can provide a flashable zip witho those mods, crt off is optional.
This is the SystemUI for the new Canadian MG1 Base, tried my hand at theming but changes arn't siticking, and there doesn't seem to be much regarding the changes made by Samsung.
Needing these specific mods:
No Status Bar Clock
Remove Carrier Label
75% transparency on notifcation toggle and drawer
1% battery
CRT off (If Possible)
SystemUI
Framework-Res
Framework JAR
TouchWiz Framework
Services JAR
Thanks, if you need any framework files feel free to ask.

Yeah, there was a thread in the Dev discussion that resolved compilation issues. Im using the general JB theming stuff I have on hand to play around with things, but I was also worried when someone mentioned that Samsung did some major changes to SystemUI in this update.

[POLL] RE: MAD Industries SYSTEMUI MODS. See [MOD] thread first

This thread picks up where "[MOD] [SYSTEMUI] Enable Wifi Toggle / Reconfigure and theme toggles [ICS Blue!]" leaves off. See post #174
Alright guys so here's the deal. The *proper* way to remove the location icon, battery full notification, and/or clock is through a smali edit. Smali files are contained in dex files and jar files. Our stock rom is an odexed rom meaning that the dex file is specifically optimized for our device; its also signed. So in order to change anything, the steps are:
1) Pull core.jar, ext.jar, framework.jar, android.policy.jar, services.jar, services.odex
2) Disassemble the services.odex file
3) Decompile smali files and compare decompiled source to smali code to find correct values
4) Make edits to smali
5) Recompile smali files
6) Repackage odex file
7) Pull signatures from original odex file
8) Use them to resign new odex file
9) Push back to phones
10) Repeat for each version of the statusbar mod
As you can see this takes a very long time and is rather tedious. Work is pretty significantly reduced by using a deodexed rom.
I would like feedback from people regarding whether beans-only support is suitable or if this project should be elevated to a full rom. I have a feeling that even if I do just these couple of edits there will be more that require deodexing the services.
More detailed POLL options
1) Continue work with Beans support only (immediate)
2) Elevate project to full ROM status and introduce a new rom to the scene (requires time and preferably a team)
3) Just do the battery full mod and the location mod and forget any other status bar icon mods. (including removing battery/clock)
4) Leave the statusbar icons alone until a source-built rom is made available
5) (forgot to include) "Hack" solutions such as removing the png files

Edit: Definitely just support deodexed roms. Way too much work for odex and if people are into modding their phone they should be deodexed anyway Imo.

I say just provide support for Deodexed roms (not specifically only Beans Rom though). No reason to put you through all that time and effort of working on a stock Odexed rom.
Thank you again for your work. It is certainly appreciated by us all!

Theming entire Android system?

Hello guys,
Im building a custom rom which will be pure kitkat base on AOSP and will be name Bleach Xtreme. The problem is that for me to make it original and unique I need to theme it in white instead of any Black from kitkat. I like to see something different and unique. How can I archive theming to white the status bar, navigation background and same for the System Settings, SystemUI like popups etc and few system apps like calculator, etc?
I can use the help and willing to donate if ask or need it.
Thanks
Anyone have some time to guide? I see my concept was already stole on a new rom. Lol
Try using XPOSED Framework with XBLAST TOOLS and/or the Frame work.apk
Not much of a Dev but I know a Lil bit
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Well the problem is that i know how to do that. I want to theme manually the framework-res.apk, Settings.apk and the systemui.apk. I want to theme the rom itself.
Thanks very much for your help

Surely you can use Xposed framework and a module for that if its not build in the Alliance rom.

Install Xposed.apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053 (read the OP well) and all available modules like GravityBox which has many UI tweaking options. Xposed modules are available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/index-xposed-modules-collection-post-t2327541, Xposed is not yet compatible with ART afaik.

Yes. It's not clear if you want to change an existing icon or add something outright.
The former is generally called theming. Usually you can just replace the icon in question with a root aware file browser. Most app icons are in the drawable 360 xxhdpi drawable folder of system apps. The latter either needs an associated app, a smali edit or something to reference the icon.

Nice work bro.......
Added some cool new stuff.
Sorry, I am on stock ATT NH3, rooted do I go about installing these? Is it possible?
If not, is there a deodexed rom you suggest I can install and used with these mods?
Thank you!

You have a locked bootloader, it is not possible to install a custom recovery.

Devo7v is 100% right unfortunately. That's why I've been slowly trying to learn smali editing, in order to make my stock rom look more like AOSP (and at least PRETEND I still have cyanogenmod). Anyway if you're looking to modify your phone it's probably a good idea (and often necessary) to deodex your rom, and as I said that guide I linked to couldn't be easier.
A Few Concerns;
Right now, I am using 4.4.2NE3 update. I don't fully understand, how to be able to root my device after flashing it into NH3, so heres a few questions about your mods.
Even though I'm on NE3, can I still flash your Flashlight+Mobile Data toggle.zip?
When will Odex support be enabled?
I flashed the mods and everything is working fine except for safestrap. It no longer works.
Hi there
I'm on fresh and rooted NH3.
How can I install this mods?. As far I understand I need first to deodex the rom? But in the deodexing tutorial also need to use CWM to install it?
To install it :
Copy deodex_install.zip to your sdcard
Go to CWM recovery
Flash the zip
Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And after deodexing can I use the stock recovery to flash the mods?

On the i537, you can flash files with SafeStrap.
How do I uninstall these mods just in case I don't want them anymore?
Thanks.

Restore from a nandroid backup made before installing these mods, or go through the zip file, figure out which system .apk's and .jar's you're modifying and copy the original unmodified files from your system partition to your internal storage or SD card, then if you want to uninstall you can just replace the modified file(s) with the original
Just out of curiosity why are you still on NH3? Do you prefer kitkat over lollipop?

I was hoping it would just be like an uninstall zip like blaz1nr's tweaks/mods....I'll try them when I get the chance. Thanks.
I don't prefer kitkat over lollipop. I'd like to update whenever I can but I only have this phone and wouldn't want to be out of action for too long. The thought of having to go through Odin if the phone doesn't do well after the update is kind of intimidating to me at this point. I'll get there eventually. I like to read the posts over and over to really understand what the steps are before I do them. Right now, the confidence is just not there. Thanks for your help.

I know this is an old thread but does anybody have a mirror for the mod files?

Samsung Themes / Theming in General

Are we able to apply parts of the Samsung themes, or do you have to apply the entire theme?
For example, say I just want to theme the dialer.. is that possible with the Samsung themes, or any other way (without root)?
Don't believe so. That was the first thing I tried to do within the themes store, and this would be at the top of my list for requested features.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
The inherent problem with doing this is the dialer requires more than that. It also uses parts of system framework for it's theming resources. A lot of apps will call for info for colors and other things from the framework apks. Which means changes to the phone's apk in xml and smali files would need to be done to make this happen.
This, of course, will require root and probably a deodexed system.
