sorry for my poor english.. i write this guide by request.
this is pretty simple thing..
1. decompile framework-res.apk
- you need apktool.jar 1.4.3 version to decompile ics apk.
download 1.4.3 : http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
download 1.4.2 : http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/detail?name=apktool1.4.2.tar.bz2&can=1&q=
(if you have problems with 1.4.3, use 1.4.2 instead)
2. open /res/values/bools.xml with a text editor
3. find "config_showNavigationBar" and set to true
4. to turn off capacitive buttons backlight, maybe you need to edit arrays.xml
- it does not work on my nexus s but seem to be working well on some other devices..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 5 [WVGA devices only] it would be better to slightly resize navigation bar height to avoid keyboard overlapping problem (see this post).
(or you have to lower lcd density but that cause app compatibility issues)
: open dimens.xml and find the line "navigation_bar_height".
and you need one more step to compensate buttons sizes.
download : http://www.mediafire.com/?758mnayrlt3dee4
this zip include 4 png files. add those files to SystemUI.apk (/res/drawable-hdpi/) using 7-zip or other program. (replace original PNGs to these files).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. recompile
- you need new aapt.exe from latest platform-tools.
download : http://www.mediafire.com/?0q52u6v8vdkpq1i
7. done
*if you don't know how to modify apk file, read this post first.

Where did you get apktool 1.4.2?

How would I disable the onscrwen keys in twlauncher 4. 5? Cause we already configured the ics keys to be our softkeus?

just put aapt.exe in the same folder as apktool.jar. that's all

can someone please help me with using apktool and decompiling my framework-res?

I'm not having any trouble with decompiling, but after making the necessary changes to bools and array, I can not get it to recompile.
What am I doing wrong here?

apktool d framework-res.apk

Same here, getting the same error when recompiling it -_- 3 people have told me it's because aapt isn't the ICS version but I updated it 3 times and even asked someone to upload and I get that same error.

Yep, i did the same thing with aapt. I triple and quadruple checked that it was the ICS compatible version, but still no dice.
I don't know. I'm still patiently waiting for a proper developer to throw together a version for the Incredible that has the on screen nav buttons since i know next to nothing about this stuff, but seriously, this process looks so simple yet I'm having so much trouble with it.
Even if i did get it to compile, I'd be stuck because adb never wants to push or pull files from my phone.

You can always copy it over and set permissions (although it usually crashes before you can), or put it in an update.zip. The update.zip method is my favorite.

How does that work? Sorry, I'm pretty new to all of this. Do I just zip up the framework apk, name it update.zip, then flash it in CWM? Or is there more to it?
If it's that easy, that would be awesome, if only I could get the apk to compile.
I'm so frustrated with this that I'm about willing to offer a donation to someone who could do it for me, although it would be much more satisfying if I could get it done on my own. Maybe I could give a donation to someone who could successfully walk me through it. The offers out there of anyone wants to take it.

Were you able to get it to work with that?
I found a work around two days ago. I took the customized XML files and put them in a Metamorph zip file. I ran it and it successfully changed framework-res.apk but the navigation buttons still wouldn't show. Now, I don't know much about this, so I'm not sure if doing it that way should have worked, but if it should have, it didn't, which would mean the instructions in the first post are incomplete.
I'm doing this on my Incredible, so maybe the ROM I'm using is missing something else. I have no idea. I've tried it on three different ICS ROMs and it didn't work on any of them.
When I get a chance, I'll try it with the new aapt.

Thanks for that new aapt, it works. It recompiled everything, but the file size is 4mb smaller than the original framework-res.apk. I get nothing but bootloops now. I also compiled with APK Multi Tool which also worked, but with the same results - bootloops.

Would it be possible to enable the soft buttons on a gingerbread ROM?

[Q] Cherry-Picking help

I want to cherry-pick "custom notification led settings" from purity to my aosp build.
So I went ahead and picked up these two commits
https://github.com/KitKatPurity/pla...mmit/c85834ed460ec99e0752f1f13e58cad74abf844e
and
https://github.com/KitKatPurity/pla...mmit/b37fdf4238b11b0232b12f218294131ea77ec309
The framework part ran well and there was no conflict. The settings part returned a small conflict which I solved myself. Now as I go on compiling, everything compiled good but then at the time of Settings.apk compiling it returned this error.
Code:

Here are the link of the 2 files where the error is shown:
ApplicationLightPreference.java
DisplaySettings.java
I tried the following combination to solve it:
in ApplicationLightPreference.java, I deleted the line which returned the error.
in DisplaySettings.java I deleted the line which returned the error.
The build compiles fine, boot fines but but when I select display settings, it force closes.
Any help in solving this error is appreciated.

Since this is a question why not post in the section clearly marked for questions??

Something is wrong in the onCreate method of DisplaySettings.java

Hi, I checked and you miss the declaration in the Android Manifest in the packages_apps_settings. Go and check my Github commits. You do not need the modifcation in the proguard.flags though.
https://github.com/GeyerA/platform_...mmit/347e74714f0c6efa2dbd3ba49b5612e1cc11bf4f
For completeness also check the commits in the frameworks_base
https://github.com/GeyerA/platform_frameworks_base/commit/a77810164cb1bcb1d449f603f31a97939d9f9b3b
Also, make sure you got these...
https://github.com/PSX-PureSpeed/an...mmit/3e29b10a377f0985ee221aaa4fe10838733ed3df
https://github.com/PSX-PureSpeed/an...mmit/2ae7fbb6134f6831fba8184d0dd1092f5bee1f7a
This should fix your issues, just let me know or PM me as I am not always checking on your thread.

Hi, I checked and you miss the declaration in the Android Manifest in the packages_apps_settings. Go and check my Github commits. You do not need the modifcation in the proguard.flags though.
https://github.com/GeyerA/platform_...mmit/347e74714f0c6efa2dbd3ba49b5612e1cc11bf4f
For completeness also check the commits in the frameworks_base
https://github.com/GeyerA/platform_frameworks_base/commit/a77810164cb1bcb1d449f603f31a97939d9f9b3b
Also, make sure you got these...
https://github.com/PSX-PureSpeed/an...mmit/3e29b10a377f0985ee221aaa4fe10838733ed3df
https://github.com/PSX-PureSpeed/an...mmit/2ae7fbb6134f6831fba8184d0dd1092f5bee1f7a
This should fix your issues, just let me know or PM me as I am not always checking on your thread.
Nice week to everbody. Calo

Thanks for the answer. I discarded all the commits which I took from purity.
Started fresh and picked up the commits from your github. There was 1 conflict in DisplaySettings.java, I solved it and compiled. It then gave me error during compile about volume wake. I deleted those lines in question and compiled again. It compiled fine but after installing the output rom I still got FC when clicking on "Display Settings".
I didn't give up. I discarded all the previous commits again and this time picked up the volume wake commits first and then the LED customization commits and then from PSX commits which you advised. Everything ran well, there was not a single conflict this time. Even there was no error at the time of compilation. BUT as always on installing the rom I got the same FC on clicking Display settings.
Now I have deleted the entire out directory and this time will build fresh lets see if that can help, but for that I can only do it after 8-10 days as I am going out of station.
Thanks for all the help.

Hello, good that you have some progress although you might feel disappointed that it does not work. Here is one reason why I personally do not cherry-pick complex commits as it will also add the lines which are not part of that commit but part of my code.
Anyhow, I believe you missed one small thing which is in android_device_hammerhead. Sorry I forgot that one.
https://github.com/KitKatPurity/pla...mmit/217378d3e6a7a5370e7c1583fcfb4ae1e7a9ac7c
Especially this one in overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml
Code:
+ <!-- Is the battery LED intrusive? Used to decide if there should be a disable option -->
+ <bool name="config_intrusiveBatteryLed">true</bool>
+
+ <!-- Does the battery LED support multiple colors? Used to decide if the user can change the colors -->
+ <bool name="config_multiColorBatteryLed">true</bool>
+
I am sure it will work then. Please do not delete everything again when something does not work, post the question first :silly:

@GeyerA you're a genius. I've been working on this for last 1 month and finally succeeded.
As I didnt have access to my laptop and the resolution that u you gave was also possible through apk tool, I sent the framework-res.apk to a friend and asked him to just change those two values to 'true' he did so and sent the same to me and boom it worked. Thank you so very much.

Hello. I am happy to hear; great satisfaction that I could help. But the credit is Dario's from Kitkatpurity and Martin_Ro's from PSX. They helped me a lot and I suffered much more than you. No biggie but please use the thanks button ....

Vine
Vine is the best way to see and share life in motion. Create short, beautiful, looping videos in a simple and fun way for your friends and family to see.
Motion Shot
This app allows you to capture a short movie by automatically rendering the movement into a single still image so that it appears to be a continuous picture. It is perfect for creating animated images with unique expressions in action scenes involving sports, animals, kids, friends, vehicles, airplanes and moving objects.
Motiongraph for Xperia™
Motiongraph for Xperia™ is a smartphone application that creates unusual images in which part of the image moves like a video.

Motiongraph for Xperia™ allows you to create your image in three simple and intuitive steps:
1. Shoot: Tap a button to record a video about 2 seconds in length.

I may have been dumb in trying this, but it's not working with my Xperia ZL running Omni 4.4.2. I don't know if I can help much by attaching the log but here goes. Searching for "sonymobile", "sonyericsson" or "camera" may help (?)

[Q] CM11 HWA Settings FC

Hi xda,
I've been reading the defy section for quite a while now, and love whats happening to the Defy! Thanks to everyone involved.
I have a problem with the HWA Settings, whenever I open them and whatever I do (scroll or uncheck an app), I get a forced closed notification. I am really running low on RAM and would love to disable HWA for a couple of apps, but am unable to do so.
Has anyone experienced a similar behaviour in the past and can recommend a procedure?
I am currently on 20140610, same problem occured to me with 20140518.
Thanks for all hints. If this is a yet unknown behaviour, I'll see if I can get any useful logs.
Cheers

Have you done a clean install means wiped data, cache and dalvik before install the new ROM? Because of I dont have such problems with the newest CM11 ROMs. At the other hand you could try to disable hwa for some apps with the terminal app. I can remember vaguely such a command exists but I dont know the precise writing anymore, sorry. Maybe someone with more profound knowledge can help you out.

Thank you for the hint.
Just in case anyone else is facing this issue and looking for a manual workaround, just create empty files inside /data/local/hwui.deny/ and fix the permissions (likely chown system:system and chmod 600).
e.g.
Code:
cd /data/local/hwui.deny/
touch com.android.browser
chmod 600 *
chown system:system *
My system has beed dirty flashed ever since I started using CM 10.2, I actually do not want to try a clean install now, for this minor issue.
The error that I see in logcat is:
Code:

If it is just me, I'll leave it for now, if the problem arises for other users aswell, I'll try to find the upstream code and and hunt the issue down.

HWA Stopped Working
I've tried all sorts of things here.
I note that the folder hwui.deny to which madmuffin refers has no files at all.
I've deleted associated HWA Settings data via app settings.
This error persists in spite of my flashing a new ROM update today.:silly:

@gbossley The folder was empty on my side as well.
Since I manually created these files I havent used HWA Settings, but when I wanted to show the problem to a friend this weekend, HWA Settings worked flawless.

Could I trouble you for a file please - exactly as you've loaded into the folder? I'll PM you.

The files are completely empty. If you use a Unix-like O/S like Linux, you can use the touch command on the prompt. Or you can just create an empty textfile using any method you like.
I did not upload the files from anywhere, I created them on the device.
Side note: I believe that it doesn't even matter. They might as well contain something. I believe the system only reads the list of files from that folder and processes that list. It won't check the contents or open the files.

Progress!
Thanks to Madmuffin, and a bit of tenacity (?), I see progress.
When looking at HWA Settings, under each app the file name to be managed is shown.
EG. for Aero Control, the file name will be com.aero.control
For ASR (a voice-recorder app) the file name is com.nll.asr
I used ROM Toolbox because with it you can use ROM Browser, navigate to the folder /data/local/hwui.deny/ and press New to create a new blank file with the appropriate names (as for Aero Control or ASR examples above).
So I created three blank files for three of the apps that I want to turn acceleration off for.
Now HWA shows those three files as deselected! However, it still stops working after either trying to turn them back on or turn others off.
So it looks as though I need to create a new blank file for every app that I want to turn off acceleration for.
My only question is "if the app is deselected per the above process, is acceleration actually turned off?" How could I test?

As Advised by Madmuffin, HWA Settings has started working! I'd love to know what logic goes on there...

HWA Not Working (Again)
I upgraded my ROM - TO Quarx CM11 (0607). HWA now not working again.
The HWUI.Deny folder has a heap of blank files in it.
Ideas?

Is the HWA Settings app not working or is hardware acceleration not disabled for the apps previously deselected?

What do you mean by "blank files"? The files in the folder are empty files by design and need no content.

Sorry, I could have been more specific.
The EMPTY files are there. If I try to make any changes "Unfortunately, Hwa Settings has stopped".

Well thats the previously observed behaviour of the HWA Settings App. I guess it will start to work after a while again, just like it did before. Since I do not need to make any changes, I usually don't even open up the app.
This seems to be a bug in HWA Settings App, but to be honest, I do not really care to much.

Hi,
when searching for this error message I found this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11041973/why-cant-i-pass-data-via-intent
It was because getText() needs to have a 'toString()' at the end. Without this 'toString()', it will crash on Android 4.x, but will work on Android 2.x.

Sevenrock if you posted this to assist me in some way thanks. However, I'm an ignoramus! How do I use this information? I haven't the faintest clue!:silly:

Problem trying to get the camera function and selecting a image from gallery to work?

Hi still new to android, tried the following tutorial in the youtube link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LCnoVqQ6N4 but I couldn't get the app to work as I am unable to execute the camera on my physical phone where it kept giving me this popup "Something went Wrong while taking photos" when I press the camera imageview. And when I am at the gallery choosing a photo it will cause the app to suddenly stop.
Thus, I downloaded the author's source code here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2rvGRbu0A83cjBBZElhdGp5OHM/view but i also encounter the same issues stated above.
Tried adding the permission for camera,read,write external storage in the androidmanifest without any luck of solving it.
Error Log after i click on a image in the gallery:

if you are testing on a device running android marshmallow and above you should also write code to request the android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission at runtime.
Take a look at the following link for android developers https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html

Oh i see but I've read the documentation but still at a lost as to how to implement the codes from the documentation into the source code in the link above, as this is my first android development experience was feeling rather lost.

If you are below MM you just need to add the permission to the manifest.
Code:
<manifest>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
</manifest>
If you are on MM or higher you need to add the permission the manifest and then ask for it at runtime.
Code:
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(activity, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS) != PackageManager.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(thisActivity, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, CALLBACK_ID);
}
You will also need to handle the result of that on your activity:
Code:
@Override public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
if (requestCode == CALLBACK_ID) {
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Granted
} else {
// Not granted
}
}
}
