Hi! I switched to Modaco's rom from AOKP however I really miss the feature that I can make the navigation bar smaller. Is there a way that I can reduce the size of the navigation bar on Modaco's rom by editing some files?
Thanks

I believe you can decompile your framework-res.apk and then navigate to res/values/dimens and change "navigation_bar_height" (set at 48) and "navigation_bar_width" (set at 42) to your liking.

Awesome. It is annoying that the nav bar and softkeys take up so much screen real estate. Is there a similar way to reduce the softkey area???
sure there is. ics has a hidden tablet mode. go to dpi 192 and switch off your navbar before you boot. your ics, by itself and including many apps, will transform into this:

Thank you SO MUCH for that 192DPI "trick". I absolutely love that layout with my ADWLauncher EX. Omfg I love this phone so much. No wonder my wife is plotting to destroy it.
set the DPI to 192 and it converted to tablet mode, but how do you keep your icons from shrinking?

yea thats the question. it was the first thing to put me off. i tried to find a solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531392
but still no launcher could do it, so i took apex and modified the smali code. it now thinks its running in normal resolution, disregards the fake DPI, i tricked the dockbar into ignoring tablet mode aswell. you can download the apk in that thread but mind you it has many kinks still. app drawer wastes alot of space, landscape mode does not work and you have to set a grid-size (5x4 for example), "auto" won't work. the crashing phone app problem is solved in that thread, too - but this was a known fix.
Delete me.

Thanks
Edit : Just curious if I use a framework-res.apk from an AOKP with navbar set to a smaller size from ROM control will it work with Modaco's rom or is a 4.0.3 framework incompatible with a 4.0.4 rom? And if it's just a compatibility issue will it work with another 4.0.3 rom such as Bugless Beast?

How did you do that? I used spb shell 3d.
Also I noticed that when someone calls me I get my phone ringing but I cannot pick up the call. There is no slider to do that. Instead it says that some phone process closed. I love the tablet UI but phone is useless without the basic phone function. Only if we can have larger fonts and working phone calls then its all great.

its just me i guess but i'd hate using a GB launcher on ICS. i trust the google team, and their design decisions really nailed it for me. in my stubborn view GB launchers just vomit all over it. that's why i wish one of the new launchers could go into some sort of hybrid mode, tablet and normal combined.

i guess you could edit build.prop and do it there. but you need to be able to switch off your navbar, too, or you'll get system.UI crashes - and that you can either do by hacking your framework or installing aokp, which can do all these things with a flick of a button.

Status bar, not notification pull down. I've already gotten the notification working, as it was just a standard png edit.
Anyway, is there anyone that can give an explanation on how I can get my status bar to be transparent? I've already gotten the proper image from system/app/SystemUI.apk. I edited it and saved it properly for transparency. Where I'm getting stuck is the whole draw 9 thing, since the image is a ".9.png" file. I've already opened the png in the draw 9 patch tool in the SDK, but I'm just totally stuck at this point.
I sort of understand the deal with drawing black lines on the right and the bottom for the content areas, then the two dots on the top and left for the stretchable areas. But after I save the file, I'm still seeing the drawn black lines in the image. Am I not doing something right? After I get that sorted, how do I go about resigning the apk to push it to my device?
You'll need to run Eclipse, this tutorial helped me with draw nines. Once you put them thru Eclipse, the lines will disappear. Then you can extract them from the unsigned apk like the video states, use 7zip to put the images back into your framework-res.apk or whatever without having to resign anything.

I'm a rom-whore, and I'm damn proud of it
Edit: Nevermind, I'm editing the right file. I just did a test and made it completely red and it worked. But, for some reason transparency is not working at all, it just keeps appearing solid black.
I believe it's in services.jar if I'm not mistaken. Or so that's what I had heard. I haven't messed with it myself.

The actual image is in SystemUI.apk. But it won't render transparent without an xml our services.jar hack. It's a pain in the ass. Also if you actually make it transparent you are going to have problems with text and image stacking when you pull down down notifications. I just replace the image in SystemUI.apk with a 480x38 top part of my wallpaper.

In ADW Launcher settings to go System Preferences, and uncheck Wallpaper Hack, and the transparency will be enabled with regular wallpaper.
With Launcher Pro, it only works with LWP.

Indeed that does work. Now, if I could only get that transparency to work with the original CM7 theme. I'm not a fan of all the extra theming stuff that particular patch adds. Thank you though.

trying to download this but i get bombarded with window advertisements. and then it saids your download is starting and just stays stuck on there.
***Click Here for a tutorial on changing your lcd density***
Launcher now runs side by side with stock launcher!
I highly recommend flashing the stock launcher back to have as backup after installing this if you have used version 1.0 before.
Stock ICS Launcher: ZIP
Here is a modified stock launcher optimized for a modded lcd density of 240 dpi. While it will run on a stock 320 dpi Nexus, it will be so messed up it will be unusable. Landscape mode is fully working. Your feedback is appreciated!
I can make different icon grids based on request (5x5 or 6x5 for example). Eventually i want to make it so that the user can change this from the app itself.
Home Screens:
6x6 Icon Grid / 7x6 No Search Bar
7 Icon Bottom Bar (aka Hotseat)
Resize ALL Widgets (after adding a widget you have to pick it up and drop it again to enter resize more)

App Drawer:
6x7 App Icons / 9x5 (landscape)
2x4 Widgets / 3x3 (landscape)
Changelog:
Version 2.0:
- Added a 7x6 desktop no search bar version (for use in portrait only)
- All apps button animation has been modified to prevent seeing apps on the next homescreen over
- Moving an existing app/widget uses the tablet like overview mode
- Resize all widgets! (After adding a widget, pick it up and drop it again to enter resize mode)
- All apps drawer: 6x7 portrait / 9x5 landscape
- Now a separate app form the stock launcher, to allow side by side use
Version 1.0:
- Initial Release
Downloads:
Code:
adb remount
adb push C:\PATH_TO_APK\BRD_Launcher.apk /system/app/BRD_Launcher.apk
apks must be pushed to /system/app with adb!
Version 2.0: 6x6 w/ Search APK / ZIP
Version 2.0: 7x6 (No Search Bar) APK / ZIP
Version 1.0 (Old) ZIP
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNLESS YOUR LCD DENSITY HAS BEEN MODDED TO BE 240 DPI or 241 DPI (DEFAULT 320 DPI)

First of all, everything is going to be smaller of course. However some apps (only a few really) are reformatted and look a little different (and better imo). I am actually surprised how well apps handle this dpi (although mostly its because 240 is the dpi of many of the phones from last year). My old phone had problems with a few apps using a changed dpi, but with the nexus i havent seen much issues.
Some key differences:
- Market now has 2 columns instead of one when listing apps
- Contact pictures are much smaller in the favorites tab
- Contact info had a small icon of contact on left (static) with all of the contact info as a scrolling pane on the right.
- Launcher used to have small 4x4 grid in centered on screen, but fixed with this mod.
I would post some screenshots, but a lot of the stuff on my phone (contacts, email apps, etc) are personal, and i dont feel like censoring them. My opinion for you would be to just try it for yourself. You can always go back to 320 at any time if you dont like it.

Unfortunately, no it doesn't have a widget resize feature like ADW or something like that. I would LOVE to have that feature for this launcher, but unfortunately with my current knowledge of android it would take a while before i could figure out how to get that working, so don't count on it.

Use an app called "DPI Changer Utility" from market and change the dpi to 240, reboot and then apply the MOD

I don't know for sure but I would guess at no as 240 is a standard dpi for many devices, whereas if your changing from a device that started at 240 then it will 9 times out of 10 be something obscure that apps dont list as compatible with even though most the time it is..
Hey guys, I will answer all of your questions later today. For now i wanted to let you guys know that i created a thread to discuss modded lcd density for the Galaxy Nexus. The discussion in this thread should be related to this mod, and if you want to discuss any other dpi related things (gmail, market, etc) they can go in the dpi thread:

Great job man. Does it also work on a density of 260 or 280? Or are things getting overlapped at a larger density.

I do not modify the size of the icons, i just allow for more on the screen. The 6x6 grid is pretty packed as is on a 240 dpi display that if you ran it on 260 or 280 my guess is the outer icons will be chopped off, or half showing (based on how it looks in 320).
240 dpi will definitely give you better compatibility across apps, but if that is too small for you i can see where you are coming from. If i made a 5x5 grid one it might work on 260/280.
Decided to make my own set of softkeys based on the stock softkeys, just less bright, and cyan to match the status bar icons. I've attached a Metamorph compatible theme that you can use, and should work on any ROM tested on stock, and on an AOSP build of 4.0.3, but unless your ROM has major changes to the SystemUI APK, this should work fine. Always a good idea to backup first just to be safe.
There is NO included Search key, so if you're using a search key mod, the search key will be the same.

Nope, just use Metamorph from the Market. Place these in /sdcard/AndroidThemes and launch Metamorph (you'll have to install Busybox as well if it's not already installed). Then just pick this one and apply.

Sadly, these are actually as bright as the status bar icons; the problem is that the OS dims them until they're pressed (if you press these you'll see what they're supposed to look like). I don't know if there's a relatively easy way around that or not.
does this have one for a search button or no?

You must have installed a modification of some sort. This won't cause anything to appear that wouldn't normally; all it does is replace a few graphics. Are you running a custom ROM?

Depends on what sort of customization. Mine were stock, but short of major changes to the softkey navigation, this shouldn't cause any issues short of design inconsistency if you have a search key. Try unpacking and applying it again. If you need a stock SystemUI.apk just let me know; I backed mine up before applying this.

Sure thing. I've attached backups from 4.0.2 (actual stock) and what I'm running now (an AOSP build of 4.0.3). Use whichever applies to your ROM, but I'd advise running a backup first before modifying it, just to be safe.

It's not a flashable ZIP. I only zipped it so that I could add it as an attachment. I'd assume you could use:
Code:
adb remount
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app
but don't trust me on that.
They doesnt look so sharp.. is it the glowing? Wouldnt it look better if they was sharp as the icons in the statusbar? Is it possible?

Go for it.. ask any dpi bugs, I am here
DPI 190 will cause market compatibility error. So better use standard dpi which is 320 240 160 and other.

Go for beautiful widgets, its more perfect and interactive.
Fonts are smaller but that's how it show be. I mean huge fonts only assist others to read our stuff even from far. If you look at iPhone fonts than font size in 160 DPI is 20% bigger. Larger screen is available for usage.
Here is eg.
Using other than standard dpi will cause compatibility issues. You can try other but i tested and conclude that standard dpi is half issues solved.

Nope, modded full stock rom of @k2wl. Dual sim icon removed.
You can use personal settings for each apps as advanced user. That happens as you are experienced now.
Edit:
Now I have looks of cm 10.1 and battery life of stock rom.

So I saw this idea somewhere a while back (reddit I think) and decided to try my hand at making these rounded AOSP style icons.
These zips only swap out the png's for the data and wifi statusbar icons unless otherwise stated. Everything else on the statusbar is left as is.
This is made with VRtheme and it works with certain roms and not with others, i'm not sure why. It shouldn't break anything if it doesn't work, you'll just reboot to the same UI you had before. Confirmed working on LeeDroid 7.4.
Flash in recovery, clear cache & dalvik before flashing. Nandroiding before flashing is always a good idea.
Special thanks to Basil3 for helping me with VRtheme.

It's not set that way, thats just the way I prefer it. The icons will be in whatever order you have them arranged in your settings.. it just replaces the pngs. Don't worry I'm not trying to be a navbar Nazi and dictate how you use your phone lol.
Hmm. Tried flashing twice on ARHD 4.1 but it isn't working. Anyone else tried with this ROM?
What would be the correct way to put these into an HTC theme? I applied it and it was great for the default, but when I put a different theme in they went away. Is there a directory I could put these in?
*edit* I am talking about the navbar icons specifically

That rom is odexed right? Don't think it works on odexed roms. Deodex your fine, tested on M9 and M7.

Have you tried re-flashing after applying the theme? If you're using a HTC theme don't change the navbar icons (if that's an option, don't know much about them).
It does make you auto change the navbar icons, and they aren't part of the modular part of themes (font is, as well as a few other things. Disappointed by the number of things that are not modular, however). I'm gonna flash right now with the new theme and report back.
Update: Nope, did not work. Still seeing the updated icons from the theme (which for some reason decided having the home button be a cloud in front of the sun was a great idea. Oh, and having the recents button be mountains. It sucks that the rest of the theme is cool, because I really have a strong dislike for the navbar buttons)

Interesting... I've made a couple of themes based off my wallpaper (that aspect is cool), but it's never changed my navbar icons. That would be my solution- build your own. Other than that, if there's no way to edit your theme and select stock nav icons i'm not sure what to tell you...? Like I said I don't know much about them; don't care for most of them anyway. I agree that the ones you download are kind of "all or nothing" and need to be more customizable.

Well, the problem I have with making my own theme is that (I think) it doesn't turn your dialer dark, which kinda bums me out as the rest of my theme tends to be dark and I'd like as much of that as possible. And while the dialer SEEMS to be a part of that modular design, it only ever gives me the option of "default" unless the theme I have has a mod on it.
The HTC theme engine for Sense 7 is very weird in almost every way right now...hoping it gets smoothed out at some point. Thanks for your suggestions though! I'm gonna see if I can find a way to compromise (or poke around and get everything I want)

Dark dialer.. that would be cool. Maybe a future project.. but I have a move coming up and my time to spend on this is about get a lot tighter. Good luck in the mean time.
If you want to take it into your own hands, google how to decomile/recompile the SystemUI and start making your own edits I'm sure that dark dialer is just an xml edit somewhere.

It's deodexed according to the OP of the thread.
@Chronzy - Neither seems to be working with ARHD 5.0. It is a deodexed rom. What I notice is that the files are changed when I view the systemui.apk, but it doesn't actually change when you use the phone.

Strange indeed..
Sorry I don't have time to troubleshoot guys, days are very busy atm. I can confirm all of the mods I post are working fine on LeeDroid as of 7.2 (which I'm still running). Not sure about the ARHD problem, I thought it was odex/deodex issue but I guess not. If i get time in the near future maybe I can look into it.
Wish I could be of more help, thanks for your interest!

No problem. I just moved the files manually to the APK and it worked fine.
Updated with Slim fade style. Slimmed the border down, not as bulky.
I'm gonna work on how to make this universally flashable across all roms, still puzzled by it.
