MoreFlymeNotifications
Hello to everybody!
You probably know that in Flyme OS, most of non-chinesse notifications appear with a generic notification icon.
So I have discovered a way to have the notifications separated! Instead of having all of them grouped together in that icon that you dont know what notification are you receiving.
Here you have some examples:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, What does this mod?
This is a SystemUI modification in with I have modified some smali files and I have added the icons inside the apk in order to be Flyme able to recognize the app and put the original notification icons.
But this method have a bad thing.. all the notification icons have to be added by hand, and also the activities of the apps. So because this is a HUGE work for me to find out all the icons of every app, I ask you for help to submit the icons of the apps that you use and you want to get notified. In this way, the mod will be more complete and I will finish sooner :good:
(This is explained in post 2º)
Thanks!
What devices are supported?
Currently this mod is only available for Meizu MX4, but I will adapt it to the Meizu M1 Note and Meizu MX4 Pro in a very short time.
Maybe I will adapt also to the Meizu MX3 if some people request it.
Stay tuned!
How can I install this Mod?
You can install it as a normal system app in system/priv-app replacing the old SystemUI.apk with the correct permisions (0644), erase SystemUI.odex and reboot.
In case you are in Lollipop, you have to put the SystemUI.apk inside the folder called "SystemUI" replacing the previous apk and with 0644 permisions
Also I have created an installer
To install this mod wih my installer you need this:
-BusyBox
-Terminal Emulator
-My mod (SystemUI.apk) and the installer located in the internal memory.
After you have BusyBox and the terminal emulator downloaded and installed, you have to open the Terminal and write down this and press enter:
Code:
su
A window will appear requesting for root access, select allow.
Now, write this and hit enter:
Code:
sh /sdcard/NotificationsInstaller
My installer will be executed and you will see all the secuences of the installation

How can I colaborate adding my own notification icons?
If you want to add more apps to this mod, you have to extract the notification icon from the apps.
All the user apps are located in /data/app
You have to copy and paste the apk to the internal memory to be able to pass the apk to the computer.
Once you have the apk located in the pc, you have to rigth click and select "open as..". Select open with WinRar or similar
Now you are inside the apk. Just drag the folde called "res" outside tha apk.
Inside the res folder, the folders called "drawable-xxhdpi" and "drawable-xhdpi" is where the notification icon is.
The icon is usually called "notification_icon.png"or something like that. It usually has a size less than 100x100px
This is the icon I am requesting for, you can upload it in the excell tab (see the end of the post)
Also It would be nice if you write me the Main Activity of the apps.
This is very simple, you only have to have xShorcut app installed in your phone.
In side this app, go to App Shorcut, find the app and copy in the excell tab the text below "Component Package"
The excell tab is here
Thanks for supporting this mod
Added support for the Meizu M1 Note! It is avaliable for download.
I will edit the post later
Are you planning on supporting the Lollipop beta's or when its released officially ?
Also a kakotalk icon would be amazing.

I have friends that have the beta, they said that is very fluid and the battery has improved
Yes, everything seems to be working well except for xposed. Can't get it to install.
Hi, sorry for bad English, I write through Google translator
I want to ask you, if you can write the instructions, or just write in any files you are prescribed changes. I just think those icons that I use is not much need rest, as you do not have to collect all the icons, everyone will be able to collect them for yourself.
thanks for the mod, everything works:good:
p.s. I tried to decompile your systemui, which would then be compared with the unmodified systemui and to understand the changes. but I could not.

Sorry I havent read your comment until now :crying:
Thanks!
So do you want to know how to do this mod by yourself? Of course, I will tell you but it very easy to get a bad compilation
I think the best thing is to have all icons colleted in one, like I am doing, because few people will know how to put the icons in the systemUI and modify it, so very few people will use it. Also icons only are a few bytes large, you wont notice the difference.
So, this is what I do:
After decompiling SystemUI.apk, you have to go to systemui/res/drawablexxhdpi or drawablexxxhdpi if you have a M1 Note and put here the icons
Next, go to /systemui/res/values/public.xml, open it and erase some lines that refers to icons of chinese apps that are not used outside china. Put the name of the icon replacing it and write the id's in a notepaper or somewere to remember it.
Now go to /systemui/smali/com/android(systemui/statusbar/phone/MeizuCustomizedIcons$1 and locate the loops where the previous id's are. You have to find the id's you have stored, change the main activity of the chinese app and put the activity of the app you want to put related to the icon.
Just this, it is easy to make errors.
I dont know if it is well explained, my english is also bad
thank you for a good and clear instructions

Thanks for adding kakoatalk. However the notification icon you used is little off with the rest.
This one is more fitting.
Thanks.

Install Instructions: PLEASE READ!!!
1. Set MetaMorph delay to around 1000 (My exact number is 1054) then press Close
2. Press Unzip/Extract new theme
3. Navigate to where you have Minimalist_Lockscreen_Icons.zip located
4. Select the file
5. Press close on the on the pop up that appears
6. Press Apply all!
7. It WILL force close com.android.phone when it applies the Phone.apk, I do not know of any way around this.
8. While the force close pop up is on the screen, another pop up menu will appear behind the force close pop up and the buttons will say either Continue? or Stop; you must quickly press Force close on the force close pop up, then press Continue? on the other pop up menu; it will then start applying the framework-res.apk
9. The device may freeze up at this point, if it does freeze up (mine did), then wait about 30 seconds, then pull the battery and boot your phone
10. Everything should be applied now
Animations by rover.prince - http://bit.ly/iejwtm
I take no credit whatsoever for these animations.
I have taken them from rover.prince's theme at the request of some users.
Here is the thread where I got the animations.
Apply this with MetaMorph.
Updated to cm_sholes_full-24.zip.
New button and textfield images, not a big difference but something I have wanted to get done for a while.
Fixed DeskClock time text issue in landscape
Added Morph to OP for lockscreen icons for those that do not like completely transparent lockscreen. Please read the instructions and do exactly as they say.
Edit1: Also, I believe with the next release, I am going to restructure the way the links are set up in the OP. As it stands right now, it is an ineffective model that takes up a lot of unnecessary space. As anyone who follows me on twitter knows, when I mention my updates on there, I just link to a folder on media that contains folders of each supported device, then in that folder are the theme files for each device. If I go to just having a link to that main folder containing all the sub folders like I do on twitter, then I do not have to go about updating the links in 9 different threads with each release, and I do not have a space for old download files, since they can be gotten from the same place as the current download file. I think this method will make for a less cluttered OP, and save time overall.

@ynkamat
Regarding the message bubble design you requested. In order tho have light text on a dark bubble requires decompiling/recompiling the Whattsapp apk and editing the xmls to change the text color. I have tried that in the past, but with little success .. as Whattsapp doestnt seem to be able to recompile properly with the conventional decompiling methods. That is why you will see most mods have only black text on lighter bubbles. Not so easy to do an inverse design.

@Yorzua
I am well aware of how to decompile and recompile apks.
The issue is with the Whattsapp apk recompiling after editing the Styles.xml within the res values folder. As many themers have found, there is an issue with recompiling WhatsApp apk after performing such edits. No one seems as yet able to successfully recompile the apk and alter the message bubble text color. You are doing well if you can change the text to inverse using ApkTool.
I myself prefer APK Manager than ApkTool as its command line structure is much better laid out and has more options.

@ Youzua
Are you able to change the black bubble text to white (within the speech bubbles)....?
The trouble lays in that part of the modifications.
I have yet to see anyone successfully recompile the Whatsapp.apk (myself included) and have the changes (black text to white) actually work after finalization.
Many have tried editing both the Style.xml and Color.xml.. but the it just don't take after recompiling. The person who cracks this is going to make everyone happy.

Thanks for the feedback, working for me and reported by others as working too.
Download and place the zip into your sd card
Uninstall your existing whatsapp app
Use Rootexplorer to drag the app into /data/app or /system/app
Set permissions to all by long press on the app to pop up the menu
reboot the phone and you will see your whatsapp application installed in the grid.
Do you still have place on /system ( internal memory ) ?
Do you have already a whatsapp apk in /data/app ? If yes, it will overwrite the one of /system.
Did you move the app to sd ? ( a2sd scripts or whatever )

Thread Closed @ OP Request
XDA-community!
NEWS: The app is open source: https://github.com/daOwl/build.prop-editor
I want to share my latest application with you: BuildProp Editor
root and busybox required
What is this tool used for?
This tool allows you to modify your build.prop file easily on your device. It makes editing easy and you don't have to take care about remounting stuff or read/write permissions. It also features descriptions which contain information about the property. A great tool for both: beginners and advanced users. It can be used to test a variety of properties on your device or even tweak it, but be warned: You've to know what you're doing! If the phone doesn't boot after a reboot, the initial backup of your device can be found at: /data/data/de.bwulfert.buildpropedit/build.prop
Why do you call it a community project?
Because I need your help. I want to create a documentation which contains every property and every meaning used by the android ecosystem. This is also my first real android project so instead of yelling the hell out of me, post some constructive feedback .
Descriptors / the motivation for developing this app / little details
I've created this application because, obviously, I want to edit my build.prop file in a easy, non adb push / maybe remount, way. So I've decided to create this application which does these steps for you (remounting, backup your file, etc.) - you just have to download & install it, getting prompt to create a backup of your current build.prop file (it's just button clicking, nothing else) and you are good to go son! Hint: You actually have to create an initial backup otherwise the application closes it self. I'll add a neat "view" or "read" mode later but for the security of all our phones I think its the best deal for now.
After working on it for a while I noticed the big range of properties a build.prop file could contain - and which my knowledge doesn't. So I decided to create these descriptors which consists of:
description - meaning of the property, what is it used for
recommended values - alpha numerical values - e.g.: 0,1 or 180, 190, 200, 210 or dd-mm-yyyy, mm-dd-yyyy
keyboard layouts - textual values - e.g.: NumBlock, CharacterInput or FileDialog (the FileDialog isn't implementet yet)
An example of an existing descriptor:
Code:
<PropertyDescription>
<KeyName>ro.com.android.dataroaming</KeyName>
<Description>Enables data-roaming by default in the build.</Description>
<KeyboardLayout>CharacterInput</KeyboardLayout>
<Values>
<Default>true</Default>
<Value>false</Value>
<Value>true</Value>

</PropertyDescription>
Of course I'm not able to describe all the properties by myself so I've spend some time searching on the net and came up with an amount of 24 descriptions. This isn't that much but a good start. Thats the point where I need help from anybody who's interested: If you want to contribute to this little project, you can contact me and sending me your descriptors (which are just plain-text xml files) - I'll merge them into the project. You can also help by translate this application into your language (english is still welcome, I am german) or donate a small amount.

TODO
This project isn't finished in detail. Everything should work exquisit and fine but this are the steps I'm still thinking about:
Batchmode - adding little text snippets which consists of properties to your build.prop file. (Great for lazy people like me)
A (web) application to make it easier to contribute descriptions
Preferences - I got a lot of feedback for these, I'll add these in the next update

There are quite a few apps which are able to do that but not with descriptions.

True, joeykrim does have a section in his app with "common tweaks" as seen in attatched screen shot. I do love your idea with the description though, makes up for a lot of questions that could arise with such app.

That would be a great thing! I'm allready implementing custom widgets (TextViews, ListItems for example), but I'd to ask for icons. Simple pictograms which match with a white (!) background

Hi there, I was hoping could trying your app.
First time I run your app, it asked permission and of course i allowed it.
But your app show this message
"No root access is given!...."
that's strange cause my X10 using Wolfbreak with prerooted. And app like Titanium, ScreenshotER, etc works perfectly.
Maybe you can help me what should I do?

[APP] BuildProp Editor - community project [1.1 BETA [Update]]
Update
Hey xda!
Today I've released the new version of my tool. The update contains a complete UI redesign in a lite/silver grey style. I've also worked on the ShellCommunication to increase the compatibility with other roms (works well on cm7 and MIUI).
Nevertheless I've uploaded my descriptionbundle. If you want to add a description you can take a look into the file. You can also look at the scheme.

Hello XDA,
another great Update of my build.prop editor. Thats the biggest update for now and I think, that this app isn't in beta anymore.
Version 1.2
Added viewmode (for unrooted phones)
Added HC and ICS compatibility
Added an introduction
Increased usability
Fixed some typos
Screenshots
My next step will be a batchmode. You can create a single text file which includes properties. These files can be integrated into the build.prop file. This allows to share stacks of properties for example helping somebody with a problematic build.prop. This also allows to share sets of tweaks for users, without to overwrite their own file. It should be selectable which property is going to be overwritten and which not.

Thank you sir! I've still got a bit to do but it's pretty functional and tested for now.
I also want everybody on the board here to ask if someone wants to create a proper icon for this app? I'm not really great on this (simple icons are okay but proper stuff is not my job). So, if somebody is interested, please contact me. The one who'll design an pretty icon for me gets marked in the credits
This tool looks awesome. Can't wait to see it get developed more.
oh yeah nice tool rated and thanked!
same issue here, no root permissions granted in htc explorer, hope you solve it soon

Edit: Allright, I'm looking for a fix in your rom.
Themers on XDA face a huge problem when it comes to paid apks. They can't theme apks and distribute their work since that would be considered warez.
Since we - the moderators - spend a lot of time closing threads where someone accidentially published such a theme, Forum Moderator Whiskey103 came up with an idea.
What if the themer doesn't distribute the entire apk, but only his themed parts? This would be totally allowed on XDA.
So Whiskey asked me if I can come up with a solution to this problem. And today we announce RTI - The remote theme injector!
Note: while this project is intended for paid apks, it still works with free apks too of course. This app might help you migrating themes to a new version of the apks too.
RTI basically consists of two parts:
The patcher (or themer)
And the editor which is needed to create themes
Patcher
This is a little windows app which takes the target apk and a theme file (more on that later) and automatically injects the theme into the desired apk.
Todo this, the apk gets decompiled, patched, recompiled, signed and zipaligned. All this happens automatically and requires no input from the user (which is in this case the user who wants to USE the theme)
The user has to provide the target apk on his own, this ensures no apks are distributed as part of the theme.
It can be pulled via ADB or Rootexplorer from the phone for example.
Editor
The first app was for applying a theme, the editor is for creating such themes.
It's a simple wizard style app which guides the themer through the required steps to create a theme file.
Each theme file contains not only the actually themed files but also its own version of apktool to ensure maximum compatibility and a set of settings specifically for the target apk
The settings include:
Package name of the target apk
Version number of the target apk
Which sign method to use (keep old signature, sign with a default key, sign with own key)
Whether the apk gets zipaligned or not
The workflow for the user is very easy:
Download theme (it contains the patcher and the theme file (or even multiple themes)
Fetch target apk from phone and copy it in the same directory as the patcher
Start patcher and wait until it's done
Install themed apk on device
The workflow for the themer isn't much harder:
Theme your apk just as you are used to it
provide TWO folders to the Editor, both folders need to contain the decompiled output of apktool
The first folder contains the unthemed, decompiled apk, the second one contains the themed and decompiled apk
Set the required settings in the editor and wait until generating the theme is done
Provide the user a download which contains the patcher and your created theme file

Changelog
2.12.1.5665
Added support for smali modification for advanced themes
Some bug fixes and UI improvements
1.9.5.191
Important: This version brings some breaking changes, so please do not mix an old rti file with the new patcher. It won't work. You have to recreate your theme files if you want to use the new patcher.
Changed signing options. Removed java jarsign and added signapk.jar instead. This has a far better compatibility and doesn't require an installed Visual C++ runtime.
Possible signing options now:
Use 'test keys': Use a pre defined set of keys from me to sign the apk
Use 'own keys': you have to provide your own set of keys (key.pk8 and certificate.pem) to sign the apk
Keep old signature: NOT recommend, this has a few use cases, but usually won't work. Use one of the other two options if you are not sure.
Improved error detection on the folder selection page. It can tell you some common errors now if you make them.

My girlfriend for tolerating my work on XDA
My dog for keeping me happy
I will write a guide here, for now just screenshots and a little explanation on how to use the "Patcher"
We will do our best to answer the questions about how to use and all that
Basically i came up with the idea because of the fact we have to delete a lot of themed paid apps.
Thats not nice since i know there is much time spend on it.
So now we have a solution for all the themed Swype apk,s etc etc
I really felt sorry sometimes after i had to remove some masterpiece because it was "warez"
If we start to use this, its all fine
BIG Thanks to Diamond who really liked the project from the beginning, without him this wasn't even possible.
He really was enthusiast from the moment i contacted him till where we are now.
Once again, thanks Diamond
The patcher:
You have to download a patcher theme (XDA Premium App example) my thread for screenshots
Extract that folder and grab the installed apk from your phone with Rootexplorer or ES File Explorer.
Place that apk in the extracted theme folder and run the RemoteThemeInjector.exe
In this case the RTI (Remote Theme Injector) will give you a list since i placed two themes in one folder. Just make your choice.
The patcher will do his job and spit out a Themed APK.
Copy that Themed APK to your phone (SD-Card) and install it after you removed your previous installed version of the App.
Once the apk is installed , goto menu / more / settings / Display Style / and select XDA Free.

this is awesome!! thanks so much guys!!!
Amazing idea to solve this issue. Thanks to ALL for this...well done!

Thanks for the tools.
Thanks Diamondback and Whiskey
This is an outstanding idea. Many thanks to Whiskey and Diamondback for the hard work, and for finding a creative solution to further customize our experiences without risking warez.
It's great to see xda members and mods maintaining such a balance and protecting the interests of both the devs and users simultaneously. Well done.
Cheers for this!

Thanks for the files!
Thanks for the great feedback
One thing I'd like to ask for: If you are a themer and created a theme with this app, can you please post a link here so we can see waht awesome work done?
If you want I can also add you to the "example themes" section in the OP.
Is this just creating bsdiff patches or something similar? Or is it more tantamount to resource hacking?
Do the apps HAVE to be paid?

There's no black magic or so involved, I just take every modified file and copy it over the original one. Nothing complicated

Q:So, What is this thing?
A: It basically Replaces stock LineageOS apps with the Google apps.
Q:Why do we need this?
A: If you're using Nova launcher or Pixel launcher i'm sure you would have come across ''force 3D touch". That thing doesn't take place in Stock lineage apps like Phone, Messaging or Clock etc. Also the UI of Calendar app isn't good as compare to Google calendar app, however Google apps is the solution.
Q:What else does it do?
A: It will install Retro Music player, trust me it isn't bloatware but something better than Eleven (stock lineage music player).
Features: Let's you Remove Lineage apps: Calendar, Clock, Eleven, Calculator, Messaging, Contacts and Phone.
2) Adds Google apps: Calendar, Clock, Calculator, Messaging, Contacts and Phone, Beta version of Retro Music.
THINGS YOU SHOULD DO AFTER INSTALLING: 1) Check whether your clock is working.

Thank you! And Btw Update the site for mobile, still there are many problems with it. Like slideshow and other problems like unable to see some texts in last pic.
If you facing issue like phone app unable to see in app drawer, then it means you probably have dirty flash my new version over old one. In order to remove this issue, either do clean flash or open root browser go in system/priv-app/GoogleDialer and remove the older version, it's something with ''8.0.1...'' and reboot.
New stuff coming, tested well before implementing.
New update: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120732628
If anyone having any issues and who did dirty flash 5.0 over 4.0. I provide no support for it, do a clean flash of your rom and then my mod. Ive change many folder names so it would no work as expected.
So i finally "tried" to make git, i'm still new so dunno know much stuffs. but you can check the mod git here: https://github.com/chetz1215/Enhance-Experience-Global
