i was wondering if there was a way to change the size of the soft buttons for home, back, ect. I was hoping to make them smaller as to not interfere with games and other apps. as well as making the home screen larger and better looking. please if any one has any info on this i would appreciate it. i am not a developer but do have lots of android experience so any info may be useful. Thanks
EDIT: with new firmware out if you have updated the frameworks posted here so far wont work. i am trying to get someone to post a new framework from the new firmware. Hopefully someone will. Thanks
The icons you're interested in are located in the drawable folder of the framework-res.apk (buttonbar_sys_*), along with the relevant xml files. I tried resizing the existing icons, but all you get is smaller icons! The buttonbar remains the same size. I'm currently looking at which xml file to edit to resize the bar itself.
cool looks like a start at least. keep me updated. thanks
You can remove side panel alltogether. Buttons will then placed in the top status panel. Root is needed.
From Archos Gen8 FAQ on 4pda.ru (can't posting outside links, sorry):
In the /data/local.prop file add string
Code:
ro.board.has_buttonbar=no
reboot
to change buttons size, install app LCD Density
add to local.prop sting
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=120
reboot
PS. Perhaps with modified buttons from reply #2 we don't need the last step, as it change font size too.
you can also use the app 'lcd density' to change the resolution of the screen, which makes the buttons smaller.

Just to clarify, you either need to add that string to local.prop or install LCD Density, no need for both. The only problem with this is that it changes the size of the entire UI, and makes the icons in the status bar really tiny. That really bugs me!

There are different images for the icons in the notification bar. They are also in the drawable folder, but are called stat_sys_*. Also, simply resizing those doesn't work either. Tried it, but the icon area stays the same, so the smaller icons are just stretched out to fill the space - doesn't look good!
Why all the guys want to kill the softbuttons?
Without them, it don´t work
The only thing is bad on the buttons is the fact that they still there by playing games
But on my Archos 5 IT , theres an fullscreen mode with that you can disable the bar/buttons by playing games.. maybe a dev can look at it

Reading through gen8 thread on 4pda.ru i have found another method:
For example, for 32px notification bar height, unpack framework_res.apk and change file \res\values-long-mdpi\dimens.xml as follows:
Code:
<dimen name="full_statusbar_height">32.0px</dimen>
<dimen name="compact_statusbar_height">32.0px</dimen>
<dimen name="statusbar_button_width">40.0px</dimen>
<dimen name="statusbar_button_height">32.0px</dimen>
And don't forget string "ro.board.has_buttonbar=no" in the \data\local.prop
No need to resize images. They will be scaled down automatically.
See attached screens.
ahh looks like progress , im guessing im going to need root if i want to change the framework_res.apk? which one is best for this archangle, uruk or churlis method?

I don't know why, but if you open apk with archiver program, there is really no such folder, but if use
Code:
apktool -v d -s framework-res.apk
you get:
Code:
$ ls framework-res/res/values-long-ldpi/

No, they are different. File framework-res/res/values-long-ldpi/dimens.xml are the same in both versions and contain "24.0px" value (this is error, i suppose). Files framework-res/res/values-long-mdpi/dimens.xml are different and contain "24.0px" and "32.0px" values in 24- and 32-version respectively.
It seems i need to sort it out with the author on 4pda.ru, as i don't have device yet. Or you can try to change file dimens.xml in the folders values-long-* by yourself.

Not sure if you saw the following posts on the enable system settings thread?
yepayepa said:
Mates,
I've investigated why Button Savior won't work, and I've found the solution.
In Uruk (since I'm using it), /system/bin/input shell script miss execute attributes.
So, as root just do this:
chmod +x /system/bin/input
That's all.
Cheers.

Ok so here's exactly what I have to do to get all button on Button Savior to work.
Again I'm rooted via SDE so I'm not sure if this works for Archangel root.
1. With Root explorer, go to System> Bin and look for "input" file.
2. Press and hold for option to pop up and select "Permissions" and check all read, write, etc.
3. Reboot the device
4. Then press the regular Menu button (NOT on Button Savior yet) and go to Settings> Applications> Development then uncheck and recheck USB Debugging and hit OK.
5. Now on Button Savior press the either back or menu button.
6. The Superuser permission will pop up and select yes. If superuser is already set previously then a dialog box will shortly appear stating superuser permission applied.
7. Wait till the dialog box goes away, then press the back button. It should now back up one screen. If you press menu nothing will happen since you are in the Development screen which doesn't have a menu option so don't panic if that happens.
From here you can go back to home and test each button and they should all work now.
Each time you reset the buttons might not work again so what you need to do is go back and uncheck/recheck debugging first before pressing any of the Button Savior buttons. If you press any of Button Savior before recheck/unchecking debugging then it wont work. You'll need to reboot. To be safe uncheck/recheck it every reboot prior to using Button Savior.
The permissions should not be affected on reboot. The only time the permission gets unchecked is if you do the 10 second reset (holding power button for 10 seconds). In this case you have go back to step 1.

I am trying to make a CyanogenMod icon theme and I need to ask a few questions:
What do you do if you want to change icons of an app on SD? Do you push and then make a folder?
How do you change the icons of Google Apps (ie Play Store, Gmail)?
Can anyone help me?
1 decompile the apk,
2 navigate to res/drawable-ldpi/
and locate for the icon,
3 change, edit, and paste with your desired icon (make sure that it is proportional to the old one),
4 recompile the apk

Hello guys,
Since I use a Samsung device, I'm used to the extra number row on top of the keyboard so I modded Swype to have that extra row. However since Swype is to be purchased and not distributed, I'll only tell here how to do it for your legally purchased copy. And this is a bit complicated and for advanced users and you need to be rooted. You also need Root Explorer. Here we go:
1- First buy/download Swype from Google Play.
2- Go to /mnt/asec/com.nuance.swype.dtc-1 folder, copy pkg.apk to your sdcard, rename it to com.nuance.swype.dtc-1.apk.(keep a backup of this file at all times)
3- Go to /mnt/asec/com.nuance.swype.dtc-1/lib folder copy the files (libnmsp_speex.so and libswypecore.so) to your sdcard.
4- Using apktool (I used version 1.52) decompile com.nuance.swype.dtc-1.apk.,
5- Go to decompiled folder\res\xml folder. kbd file pertaining to your language is to be edited, I edit kbd_qwerty.xml for English using Notepad++.
6- Check the attached kbd_qwerty.xml in portrait folder and notice the extra row section I added to the top. You can in fact add secondary characters to numbers or customize the keyboard completely, rearrange letters, add symbols etc.
7- Once done, save the file and go to decompiled folder\res\xml-land folder and edit the landscape for the layout, kbd_qwerty.xml file, notice the attached file in landscape folder.
8- Once done, save the file and go to decompiled folder\res\values folder and edit the dimens.xml file. Here I raise the height of the keyboard and height of the key to 270dip and 54dip respectively, check the top rows of the attached dimens.xml. Also increase the keyboard height for landscape (if you want) by changing the dimens.xml under res\values-land folder.
9- Once done, recompile the folder with apktool, go to decompiled folder\dist folder and copy the apk here to a different folder and rename it to temp.apk.zip
10- Open temp.apk.zip with 7z/winrar and copy the resources.arsc and kbd_qwerty.xml files from res\xml and res\xml-land folders to your PC(obviously keep the 2 files in seperate folders not to overwrite)
11- Then, rename the original apk from step 2 to com.nuance.swype.dtc-1.apk.zip , open with winrar and first delete resources.arsc file, then drag the resources.arsc file from step 10 to the archive, it will be added. Staying in winrar, go to res\xml folder and replace the file with kbd_qwerty.xml from step 10 (the portrait version). Do the same with res\xml-land folder and the landcape file.
12- Once finished rename the file back to com.nuance.swype.dtc-1.apk, don't sign it, don't delete META-INF folder, leave it as it is.
13- Now, on your phone, uninstall Swype. Reinstall it from the apk file on Step 2. Go to /data/app-lib/com.nuance.swype.dtc-1 folder and move the 2 files (libnmsp_speex.so and libswypecore.so) to system/lib folder. You have to mount the System R/W from Root Explorer on this step. Fix the permissions so these 2 files have the same permissions with other files there. If you can't find these files just use the ones from Step 3.
14- Once done, copy com.nuance.swype.dtc-1.apk from Step 12 to /system/app and fix the permissions so that it has the same permissions as other files there.
15- Then delete the com.nuance.swype.dtc-1.apk from /data/app/ folder. Restart your phone.
This should be it if you followed it exactly, tracing and Dragon voice dictation also works. While you're doing all this work (takes 10 minutes by the way), you might also consider changing how Swype looks (theming) and changing many other things like swype thickness, colors etc. Please note that this is for advanced and rooted users and please don't ask me to give you the modded apk, you have to do it on your legally bought version. You might consider doing backups just in case anything goes wrong. Have fun.
And a quick tip: if you swype from swype icon to symbol key(123), arrow keyboard opens up.
You can also add arrow keys by copying arrow keys from kbd_edit.xml, check the 2nd screenshot.
Please hit the thanks button if you think this is useful.
Nice how to. But may u should tell that the latest Android versions store purchased apps in data/app-asec as asec version, this need special procedure to get a apk from the asec format.

It works same for me on 4.3 stock rooted i9500, maybe you could do a file search to find the necessary folder. Here is another screenshot with the updated Swype(1.6.2.22328), where I made number buttons smaller like original Samsung Keyboard and hide the suggestions bar to save space.

i do use APKTool successfully to mod other apps so i am familiar with the process.

I've been going nuts trying to edit swype for a week now and still can't seem to get it to work. All I want to do is change the suggested word color and maybe a few other minor color related things. I assumed just changing the color codes in /res/values/styles.xml that seemed to pertain to the holo theme would work but I can't ever get the app to install. Not even sure where to begin to ask for help on this one but if anyone has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it.
Ok I've tried this a hundred times following all the steps completely and it just wont work.
Once I go to install the final apk it always tries to install then sais App Not Installed.

You don't install the final apk, in fact you can't since the certificate is no longer valid. You copy the final apk in place as in Step 14.
I would love this! I have used Swype for years but I would love a number row. To be honest I have no idea how to follow those instructions! I have a rooted phone - what can I do?
Am I right in concluding that you can't use TB to backup and restore the finished product and this will have to be done manually? I did this on my rooted Note 3 and I keep going back to my stock image because I don't want to have to keep doing the steps when I flash a new ROM or ROM update.
Would I maybe just have to do steps 12 onward every time?

When you install a new ROM, you install original Swype from apk file then you move the lib files to /system/lib, copy the modded apk to /system/app and delete original apk from /data/app folder. So it is 4 steps once you have the modded apk ready, should take no more than 5 minutes.

Yeah I realized that after I posted and still nothing. I'm no programmer but I've never NOT been able to change a few things and recompile. Not sure how just changing a few color codes is causing such a problem. Shame such a nice keyboard has such little customization and few themes. Don't get me wrong I like orange but it really doesn't mesh at all with the rest of the UI. Thanks for the reply though.

I did all that and it changed the height of the keyboard, but didn't add any additional number row.
kdb_qwerty or whatever it's called is the default that comes up when you install it, right? Becuase I tried again and specifically made sure to use this one and it just wont give me the extra row, just the height.

EDIT: Useless guide. Every change can be made using themes. Coming from a N5 confuses me too much. Thanks @vobiscum
Since usually we would make this changes in xposed, and since xposed is not aviable (for now, I hope), we need to change some png images in the SystemUi.apk container located in #/system/priv-app/systemui folder.
This is just one way to achieve our goal, I made it supereasy for beginners.
Attention: don't extract and compress again any system apks with 7zip or similar programs: it will result in a bootloop. Just replace the needed images directly in the container. If you need to do something else, google APK-Tool.
1)Get a root explorer from googleplay. I'm using FX File Manager (it needs a plugin for root privileges);
2)Go to #/system/priv-app/systemui folder and copy systemui.apk;
3)Paste it in a pc-redeable partition or in the external sd;
4)Get the file and extract it with 7zip or winrar. Don't delete the systemui.apk imported.
5)Navigate in the excracted folder and get the files you want.
---Gradients are located in res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4, their names are: nav_background.9.png and status_background.9.png.
---Navbar Icons are located in res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4 and drawable-ldrtl-xxhdpi-v4.
6)Open the files with Photoshop or Gimp and edit them on your taste. Want a ghost navbar? Do it.
7) Drag and drop the modified files in the Systemui.apk according to their original locations;
8)Put the modified file on your sd/phone;
9)IMPORTANT: DO A BACKUP VIA TWRP
10)Copy-paste via root-explorer the SystemUi.apk back in place. It may be requested to remount the folder in r/w.
11) DONE! If you get some lag/problems, just reboot. If it bootloops, go for twrp.
nice work there, some genuinely earned thanks :good:
it will result in a bootloop

I think that is to do with zipaligning, but don't ask me further, I'm pretty noob about this. I know that many apks works well even after they are recompiled as a zip; but some resources need a particular procedure. This way avoids any problem due to recompiling.
For editing xml, I generally use APKtool and replace the original META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml, this is the proper way to recompile it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203166).

So you can change navbar icons with a theme? Well, damn me. Damn Haweii. How about other pngs in SystemUi.apk (for example the gradient?)
Not useless, and to be honest, I prefer getting my hands dirty pulling things apart rather than relying on other people, gives you a better understanding of how things work
Hey guys! I just wanted to share my problem.
I want to edit the icons in status bar. I search it on Google on how to edit the icon spacing in the status bar and they say you need to edit "dimens.xml" but when I try to extract my systemui, I haven't seen that file. Which file do I need to edit? And what tools should I use in order to edit it? I'm using Motion rom anyway. Thanks in advance

Hey guys! I just wanted to share my problem.
I want to edit the icons in status bar. I search it on Google on how to edit the icon spacing in the status bar and they say you need to edit "dimens.xml" but when I try to extract my systemui, I haven't seen that file. Which file do I need to edit? And what tools should I use in order to edit it? I'm using Motion rom anyway. Thanks in advance

you should install apktool to your pc
after finish install and installing rom framework
decompile apk file and go to ../res/values/dimens.xml
then u can control your app spaces size and dimens
after finish editing !
you should compile again apk file then sign it and use !
