[HowTo,MOD] increase Browser Max tab number S3 - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

hi
this is a quick tutorial for those who need more tabs than 8 in the stock browser
It is very simple mode
to do it just follow next steps:
*Navigate [SecBrowser/res/values/integers.xml]
*change the limit as you want (e.g i will change to 40)
Code:
<integer name="max_tabs">[COLOR="Red"]8[/COLOR]</integer>
to
Code:
<integer name="max_tabs">[COLOR="Red"]40[/COLOR]</integer>
*recompile and bingo
For the people who are not familiar in decompiling/compiling here it is a ready made file
just place in system/app
if you are on odex rom, just delete SecBrowser.odex after placing my file and reboot
FOR SURE YOU HAVE TO BE ROOTED TO REPLACE THE FILE
download

Alredy Did it Thanks

Been waiting for this, thanks it works fine, apart from one minor issue, when in browser the little window that shows how many windows you have open always says 8, even if i have more than 8 opened in the browser, if that could be fixed then this would be perfect, hope you can

[ROM] SIP integrated for deodexed Gingerbread ROMs from Samsung (2.3.3 & 2.3.4)

1-
Download for samsung gingerbread 2.3.4 JVR
Download for samsung gingerbread 2.3.4 JVQ
Download for samsung gingerbread 2.3.4 JVP
Downlaod for samsung gingerbread 2.3.3 mirror) (JVK, JVB, JVA,JVH, JVH, JV9, JVO)
2-Go to Settings, Call Settings, Internet Calls & Accounts to wrote the details of your sip account. In example:
Username: titooo
Password: pepito
Server: sip.nonoh.net
3-On Use Internet Calling choose your prefered option. I selected Ask for each call so every time I make a call to spanish landline numbers I make a free sip call thanks to my nonoh account.
Now you can make sip calls without using any third party software, no matter if you are using Wifi or 3G
Credits to modaco, dfi2k5, ZS6WDL and/or whoever discovered this way to get integrated SIP on our gingerbread roms.
I created the zip file thanks to the info provided here and here(same info in both cases just wanted to credit everyone)
I cannot find the "res\values\bools.xml" file.
There is no "values" folder in the framework apk..
How can I edit it?

You have to decompile framework-res.apk with apk-manager.
By the way the zip I uploaded already has those modifications, so you can simply flash it and enjoy
Looking really interesting, Thanks.
But as this is a framework-res.apk modification flashing the file will revert my modified battery icon + crt sreenoff animation. Am I right?
I think so... You still can use the file that should be placed on /system/etc/permissions but then you only will have integrated sip calls when connected to wifi networks.

Nope, I will
"The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
Mirror anyone?
Sorry, I forgot to link the mirror (first post updated )
confirmed to work /w jvb!
this should work on odexed roms as well since the framework-res is an apk not jar.
for the ppl who don't want to touch the framework due to their custom battery mod, u can remove the apk from zip.
the framework-res.apk patch is only to allow sip calls over 3g as well, not wifi only.
Nice one!!!
Maybe ROM CHEFS could include this one to their roms
Yes, works with JVB. Hopefully we got install which enable 3G support without power-menu etc. damaging. Is it coming ?

I have installed only a file of your reference to "system\etc\permissions\" that sip integration is enabled now only with wifi. Is it possible to enable 3G-support now without battery percentage icon lost?
Can you make a cwm file for that situtation because I am not pro to modify framework.apk.

Did you sign it? Or do you just change file name after rebuild the apk from unsignedframework.apk to framework.apk?
Did you make liket this:
You first pull framework-res.apk from your phone
decompile the apk
make the changes
rebuild the apk
push apk back to phone?
What if there are also framework.odex or other files? Should I not to touch those?

actually, most of the process was handled by the apk manager. it took me 10 minutes overall, I followed strictly after the steps well described at the link.
I have deodexed fw, didn't sign it, was no need.
and yes, I did renamed the apk.

yes, I did. note that after the process of regenerating the apk finish, you still have to zip it but uncompressed, and rename (7zip).
then, I pushed the apk to the theme zip (using 7zip) and flashed it normally like an update.zip with cwm.
btw, I didn't use ADB tools at all.

I think this tut is for advance users. But others can try
1. Get your "framework-res.apk" in /system/framework
2. Use apktool to decomplie that file. (I recommend apktool becoz I often use it )
- Command to decomplie: apktool d framework-res.apk framework-res
3. Download source file here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4u6y6udecy60dei
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. In extracted folder which u get from "framework-res.apk", find "anim" folder in \res
5. Extract source file in step 3, u will get 2 folder:
- anims
- other_files
6. Copy files from both folders in step 5 into "anim" folder in step 4
7. Open "integers.xml" in /res/value and find this line:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">150</integer>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then add the following lines after it:
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Complie your "framework-res.apk" with command: apktool b framework-res new.apk
9. You will get a file "new.apk" but dont use it. Open extracted folder which u get in step 2, u will find a folder "build" and a file is "resource.arsc" inside
10. Now you need to use 7zip. Right click on that resource file, choose 7zip > add to archive and select original framework-res.apk with type is zip.
11. Open "new.apk" in step 8 and original "framework-res.apk" with 7zip. Drag and drop "anim" and xml folders in "new.apk" to "framework-res.apk"
12. It's finished. U can use the file "framework-res.apk" now and see the transition.
Have fun! If u have question, just ask and I will answer

[HOW TO] Status Bar Transparency For CM7.2

First of all, credits should go to nims11 for this. I pm him and asking how to do that, it worked so I thought to write an extensive tutorial about this. Of course I am not held responsible if something goes wrong, read carefully instructions though it's quite simple, don't mind long explanation, is meant for new users too.
STATUS BAR TRANSPARENCY - WHAT YOU NEED!!!
1. This was tested on CM7.2 on both deodexed and odexed version. Also will work on ICS2. Probably will work on CM7.1 too but haven't tried this. Don't ask me if this will work on other modded versions of CM7.2, I don't know, and I am not willing to try.
2. You need a theme that supports transparency in status bar like Meizu, LunarUI, MIUI, Naked Simplicity, Orion and much more. Theme list can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167075
3. You need ADW Launcher along with theme to make this work. Remember to uncheck wallpaper hack in system preferences.
4. You need Root Explorer or similar app to be able to do have root access.
5. Before proceed with the method, backup SystemUI.apk from system/app (deodexed version) or both SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex (odexed version). A simple copy/paste to your sd card will also do the job.
PROCEDURE FOR HAVING TRANSPARENCY IN STATUS BAR
DEODEXED VERSION
1. Download this file http://www.uploadking.com/V7YWUIJ3UO and transfer to your SD Card (any directory)
2. Use Root Explorer and COPY file
3. Go to system/app --> Press the Mount R/W button on top of screen --> Now Paste. A message pops up to confirm that you want to overwrite file. Press Yes.
4. You will then get a message that systemui stopped responding. DON'T WORRY. Hold power button till phone reboots
5. When it reboots you won't have status bar. DON'T WORRY, IT'S MEANT TO BE LIKE THIS.
6. Use again Root Explorer, go to system/app, press again the Mount R/W button --> then find file SystemUI.apk --> Long press it till a menu pops up --> Click Permissions, it should be as this http://imageshack.us/f/843/screenshot1323167924787.png/ So permissions under file should be as rw-r-r
7. Reboot phone --> YOU'RE DONE.
ODEXED VERSION
The procedure is exactly the same as deodexed version BUT BEFORE DOING THIS YOU NEED TO DELETE SystemUI.odex from system/app using Root Explorer and having pressed the Mount R/W button in order to do so.
So when you're done and lets say you are using MIUI Theme it should look like this http://imageshack.us/f/856/screenshot1323169878975.png/. Different theme will have different icons or different transparency level, transparency is really theme dependant!
DON'T PANIC
1. If it doesn't work then probably you did something wrong
2. Remember that you have backed up original files so you're safe
ALTERNATIVE METHOD VIA CWM (as nims11 suggested) - ODEXED VERSION ONLY!!!
Just flash this through CWM http://db.tt/vlQvk1Nx
Thank you John!

I not want to tolerate such question like i lost my statusbar... so i not started thread

Also, a tip as a small contribution for people who don't like adw launcher like me. If you want to have a transparent status bar while using a different launcher then you need to download multi picture live wallpaper from the market. Set your prefered wallpaper through multi picture live wallpaper and the status bar is transparent no matter what launcher you're using
yes it work... also nims maybe you can give us your transparency bar with center clock system UI too... it would be awesome... thx

CM7.2 systemUI
just want to help. here I made flashable. but before you flash you must delete SystemUI.odex using root explorer > system > app choose SystemUI.odex and delete make sure you has mount rw first, if you get FC for SystemUI don't panic, reboot to recovery and then flash it via recovery. don't forget to mount /system first...
all credits goes to him...
MAKE BACKUP FIRST OF YOUR CURRENT SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex

I think you must extract SystemUI.apk using apktool. and find value @drawable/statusbar_background then replace with @color/transparent find in some files with xml extension. I recommend to use notepad++ for editing xml extension.

[REQ] Black statusbar for stock odexed ROM's

Hi guys,
Will any of the great themers here be kind enough to create a mod for the stock odexed ROMs that makes the status bar black?
There are mods available but almost all of them are for deodexed ROMs. A lot of people prefer to just have the stock odexed ROM (rooted or otherwise) and I am sure it will make their experience much better.
If it just requires a change of png's, I will be glad to do it myself if given correct directions. I am also slightly educated in terms of vrt theming. Unfortunately, as I am not from a techie background, stuff like XML editing stuff goes over my head..
Look forward to help and assistance. My current set up is LSN odexed stock+rooted..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Hi
1. decompile SystemUI.apk (dont forget frameworks)
2. edit file drawables.xml in path res\values\
for black color:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff000000</item>
3. compile modifed apk
4. with 7zip take the 'resources.arcs' file of the "new" apk and copy them into original SystemUI.apk
5. place the SystemUI.apk in the path /system/app - set same premissions for new apk
Where do I put the modified system ui? Preload or system?

If you're running a JB 4.1.2 rom, it goes in preload\symlink\system\app
Unfortunately, when I tried to flash the modded systemui.. my status bar simply vanished.
Has it got to do something with the systemui in the system app folder still being odexed?

[MOD][ZIP][GUIDE] Navigation bar on Note 3 - 4.3

This is a guide to enable the navbar on the Galaxy Note 3 running Android 4.3 (NOT an overlay!). I can't guarantee this will work with any xposed modules or navbar mods. This will put an AOSP-like navigation bar on your Note 3, NOT a TouchWiz one! Which means from left to right, the buttons are: Back, Home, Recent.
[UPDATED 12/22/13] - Added back_ime (down arrow instead of back when keyboard is open)! Zip updated, steps are the same. See screenshots.
!!If you are on 4.4.2 KitKat!!
You do not need to do anything with SystemUI, Samsung left all the important stuff in there. Just download GravityBox Xposed module for KitKat, and enable navigation bar.
You need to know how to decompile SystemUI.apk, modify it, then recompile it.
This is for DEODEXED roms!
1. Decompile SystemUI.apk
2. Go to the folder SystemUI.apk was decompiled in. Open res/values/drawables.xml and add the following line, then save it:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg">#ff000000</item>
3. Open /res/values/public.xml, find this line, delete it, then save:
Code:
<public type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg_land" id="0x7f020194" />
4. Open the attached zip file, find and open the folder "drawable". Copy all 5 xml files and paste them in res/drawable/, replacing the existing files.
5. Delete the files "tw_navigationbar_bg.png" and "tw_navigationbar_bg_land.png" from /res/drawable.
6. Find the folder "drawable-xhdpi" in the attached zip and copy it to res/, this will add a new folder in that directory.
7. Find and open the folder "layout" in the attached zip and copy the xml file to res/layout, replacing the existing xml.
8. Compile the decompiled SystemUI.apk
7. Put the new SystemUI.apk in the system directory on your phone, change permissions to rw-r--r--. Now cut the new SystemUI.apk to the clipboard (ES file browser) and go to system/app and find the old SystemUI.apk.
9. Rename the old SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.bak, and quickly paste the new SystemUI.apk into system/app. Be quick about pasting new apk, the phone will restart about 5 seconds after renaming the old one.
10. Add the following line to your build.prop:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
11. If your phone did not reboot on it's own, reboot the phone, and you should have a navigation bar! There are various guides on how to disable the capacitive nav buttons, so I won't cover that here.
Thanks to @gharrington for writing up this guide for the S4 on Android 4.2.2; I used that as a starting point!
Here is a pre-edited SystemUI.apk you can use (attached below). This removes any themes you have!
[UPDATED 12/22/13] - Added the down arrow instead of back when keyboard is open!
[UPDATED 12/24/13] - Made a flashable zip! If you want to flash a zip theme, just flash the attached zip after flashing your theme. Then either flash Navigation_Bar_ON.zip from this post or add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to your build.prop if you haven't already
[UPDATED 03/10/14] - KitKat users do not need this mod, the stock SystemUI has everything it needs. See big red text for instructions.
For DEODEXED: Copy the new SystemUI.apk to /system, change permissions to rw-r--r--. Go to /system/app and rename the old SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.bak, then move the new SystemUI.apk to /system/app. Flash the Navigation_Bar_ON.zip from this post (thanks @jovi23!) in TWRP or CWM. Reboot, and done!
If your ROM doesn't have init.d support, add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" (without quotes) to your build.prop, reboot, and done!
For ODEXED: Follow the same steps above, but also rename SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.bak.
DO NOT FLASH THE ZIP IF YOU ARE ON 4.4.2
You do not need to do anything to SystemUI.apk, Samsung left everything it needs in there. Just get GravityBox Xposed module for KitKat and enable the navigation bar.
If you wish to use this SystemUI.apk in your ROM, all I ask is that you give credit
Any screenshot thanks?I forgot, first

Oh yes, sorry. I attached one to the second post.
This is what i been looking for have to look into how to decompile and recompiling the systemUI looks really complicated
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Would anyone mind testing this SystemUI.apk? Need to be deodexed. Copy it to /system/, then change permissions to rw-r--r--. Now move it over to /system/app. Be sure to rename your old one to SystemUI.apk.bak, incase it doesn't work. I made this from a stock, deodexed ROM, so it should work, but I want it tested by someone else before I post it up top.
This will get rid of a lot of theming, so if you are themed, beware, as I haven't tested it that.
Moved to second post.
Hmm... after decompiling my SystemUI.apk I don't see those 2 files from steps 2 and 3

Hmm, that's odd, I'm sure the apk needs those. Were there any errors on decompile? Also, did you install framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and twframework-res.apk into apktool?

Ok so my problem was that I wasn't installing SystemUI.apk but even after installing it I don't see the public file in res/values

Can you open up the SystemUI.apk in 7z to see if the public.xml file is in res/values?

If you can attach the SystemUI.apk, I will take a look at it.

Thanks. I think this is because you are running an ODEXED ROM, correct? From your sig I assume it is pure stock TouchWiz, just rooted. You can try using my SystemUI.apk that I posted a few posts back, but you would need to rename SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.bak AND SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.bak, just so you get backups of existing files.
When I was doing it, my phone would reboot on it's own 5 seconds after renaming SystemUI.apk, so I only had 5 seconds to put the new one in there. This is where TWRP really helped.
In your screen shot - The Nav Bar looks like it's hiding the very bottom of the screen - Does this mod take into account the presence of the Nav Bar - And shift the display up - ie; is the Nav Bar hiding the Dock?

Yes, this mod is an actual navbar. It does not hide the dock. I will post another screenshot.

I did almost all on the PC, only part I did on the phone was move the new SystemUI.apk into place. There is a stock SystemUI.apk I posted in post #6 if you want to give that a try (must be deodexed). If you do give it a try, please let me know how it works out
Anyway of making it transparent and also is there a way to enable 3 dot menu?
