Introduction:
We all know that Android from ICS+ provides big beautiful contact images that are visible, obviously when someone calls us...
While all this is good... I noticed multiple ROM's extending the black screen below the animation over the image to display the subtle call accept/reject animation. And now that's not a good thing... bear with me, "personal opinion"... So here is a guide to get rid of this...
Preview:
Still don't understand what I mean? Have you seen the below happening...?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Yes that's exactly what I mean... The right image shows what happens... The left is the solved image...
So here goes...
I AM TOO LAZY:
I've got you covered... Flash this ZIP.
Its a fully transparent Dialer mod. It was tested on CM10 and should work on any ROM in theory.
PS: Don't forget to mount /system in recovery... Just in case.!
Requirements:
Java Development Kit
APKTool
AAPT
Notepad++
A Brain [Necessary]
Android SDK [Not Necessary]
Steps:
Done on Samsung Galaxy S GT-I900 Running Slim Bean v2.1
Install JDK and prepare system. [Doubts Click Me]
Prepare a folder with apktool.jar and aapt.exe, Lets say C:\APKTOOL
Extract the framework-res.apk and Phone.apk from the ROM package and move to the same folder.
Right-click while holding the shift button in the folder to open command prompt in the target folder.
Or navigate to the folder you are currently working using
Code:
C:\Users\mnazim\> cd C:\APKTOOL
Install the framework by using the below command.
Code:
C:\APKTOOL\> java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk
Decode the Phone.apk using the following command
Code:
C:\APKTOOL\> java -jar apktool.jar d Phone.apk
Wait...mmm... K...
Navigate to the folder thus created
C:\APKTOOL\Phone\res\layout
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open the file with notepad++
incall_touch_ui.xml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go to the part that starts with the tag
Code:
[B]com.android.internal.widget.multiwaveview.GlowPadView[/B]
Check for the property [Probably on the first line itself]
Code:
[B]android:background[/B]
Change the value from
Code:
[B]@android:color/black[/B]
or
Code:
[B]@color:incall_call_banner_background[/B]
to
Code:
[B]#a0000000[/B]
or change to the following for full transparency
Code:
[B]#00000000[/B]
Save and exit.
Re-Build the Phone app with the following command from the same Command Prompt Window. [Notice the "b" for build, previously it was "d"]
Code:
C:\APKTOOL\> java -jar apktool.jar b Phone
Wait...mmm...mmm...mmm... K...
The output apk will be in the following folder.
C:\APKTOOL\Phone\dist\Phone.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Copy the apk to /system set permissions and reboot. [Create backup in case. Rename the old one to "Phone.apk.bak" ]
Or make a flashable ZIP and flash from recovery. Use this as a reference.
Done.

A little off topic, but do you have any idea about how to change the blue background where it says "Incoming Call"? I ran across this because I thought incall_call_banner_background was it, but it sure isnt Any suggestions?

Could anyone please do a mod for hellybean for full transparency?
Edit: I am encountering same errors as other users when building Phone.apk
I did my best to do step by step as described in tutorial but still got those error messages as in Post 3, even I have installed framework and JDK...I myself want that phone.apk for Slim Bean

Please try installing the SystemUI.apk along with framework-res as it may solve some issues.! Will confirm and inform ASAP.!
Code:
java jar apktool.jar if SystemUI.apk
I have tried your command for SystemUI.apk but i get an error and it is not loaded.
I really am a noob with this stuff, can you please give me some more advice?

No that definetely shouldn't happen. You'll have to reflash your rom. I'm thinking of taking this down, it works for most, but some people are having problems..
Ya, its just stuck... if i go back to the program and hit the button again, it reboots and just loops again..

tried reflashing my rom, still boot looping.. going to have to factory reset.. its cool, happened to run titanium backup and Nova launcher backup yesterday... I know what "Use at your own risk" means... its all good. If you can sure this up, i'll try again.. Thanks

Takes long? more than 5five minutes?
Its not normal.... Do 4 wipes and recovery you Rom.
Do it manually.
Firs´t make sure u have all driver´s installed on your pc.
Gnex must be Rooted. Unlock is not needed.
Install Java Runtime Environment
Make sure you have LMT 0.96 or Button Savior installed otherwise you will be unable to navigate.
This is how you would edit your framework-res.apk yourself to hide Nav Bar:
Google: Donwload Apktool.
(Make sure apktool and framework-res.apk from your own ROM are in the same folder)
Extract apktool and open command line
1) Type: apktool if framework-res.apk in Command Prompt
2) Type: apktool d framework-res.apk in Command Prompt
3) Locate and edit bools.xml in folder location: framework-res/res/values/bools.xml
(Open with Notepad ++ and edit to "false" : "config_showNavigationBar">false)
4) Type: apktool b framework-res new.apk in Command Prompt
5) Open both original "framework-res.apk" and "new.apk" with WinRar/7Zip
6) Delete "resources.arsc" from "framework-res.apk" and replace it with the
"resources.arsc" from "new.apk"
7) Paste "framework-res.apk" into system/app using Root Explorer and reboot device. Should be ok! I if not, go to Root Explorer system/app find framework-res.apk go to permissions and change to rw-r-r-- Reboot and enjoy!
Cheers!

Reflash your rom like halfcab123 said or do a recovery with cwm if u have a backup.
Take this framework here and paste it with Root Explorer to you system/app
Install LMT 0.96 or Button Savior befora this step!!!
Gnex should reboot automatic.
After reboot, go to Rom Control on setting´s and change hide nav bar. Enable/Disable Nav Bar.
Tell me if work for you.

Thank you for the help you're giving to me
Let me ask u this, you say it causes force close,
Have you tried to decompule the systemui and DO NOT make any changes and simply recompile the apk, then push to your phone? Try this and see if the systemui still force closes, I have seen APKTOOL mess up a LOT of HTC apks when recompiling , try that and report back

Okay,
in this zip is four SystemUI.apk
each one is in its own folder, there are two sets, one set i made NO changes to the smalis, just decompiled and then rebuilt, one is a distro, and one is a little bit of a different way to use apk (but i have noticed it to work best when dealing with HTC)
try both, remember to set your permissions correctly on the apk after you move it to /system/app then reboot.
if one of the ones that i did not change the smalis on works, use the corresponding files in the remove recent apps folder
for example
if the no changes distro build works and does not casue force close, go straight to the removed recent apps folder labels disrto and use that one.
hope this helps you out,
by the way, what part of Italy are you from?

ok, then clearly the same mod does not work as it use to.
but atleast the recompile works(kinda)
once u build the apk, open the original apk in 7zip and open the file directory in apktool /systemui/build/apk and copy everything but the AndroidManifest into the archive of the orginal apk.

hello friends
I have seen too many users got problem using apktool for android.
I also got problem...
But i studied the problem n just tried to fix it & guess what..??
My thinking fixed that problem
Now i want to help you all
You want to download apktool & its data files ( dont ask me for that )
Also you need a rooted phone to use rootex & apktool)
Guide 1
Now the steps:-
follow carefully......
This fix is If you get error about Mydata
1) Download apktool & data files ( i have the apktool 4.1 armel version dont know it will work for another version
2) Extract it to Sdcard/*Here*
3) Go to sdcard/Apktool & install apktool4.1.apk
4) Open it Give root access..
5) Now in aptool go to Sdcard/Apktool & select any file( tap&hold for 2 seconds) & there will be a option of "Set as apktool data folder"
6) now use rootex or similar file manager & go to system/framework/ © framework_res.apk to ur sdcard
7) Tap on framework_res.apk scroll down & select "IMPORT AS FRAMEWORK"
8) Now copy framework-res.apk to your sdcard (via rootex) tap on framework_res.apk & select 1st option decompile all ( If you get any error in decompiling then follow next step)
9) Open rootex go to data/data/per.pqy.apktool/ now delete mydata file
10) Now open rootex & go to sdcard/apktool/ & use multi select option n select all files & folders & only unselect "apktool4.1.apk" now copy all that files to "mydata" folder (make new folder anywhere in sdcard )
11) After completing step 10 then copy/move "mydata" folder to data/data/per.pqy.apktool/*Here* via rootex...
12) you have completed all steps now no more steps just open apktool n modify your Device system files or any apk/jar

[CM12, 12.1][Moto E] Removed network activity indicators & improved signal/wifi icons
Hello guys
For those users who hate those little grey network activity indicators over wifi and signal icons in CM12 and CM12.1, here's a treat for you!
I have modified the SystemUI.apk and implemented the following changes:
Network activity indicators have been removed!
Spacing between the dual SIM signal indicators has been increased slightly and thus they appear better than the original look where both the indicators almost touch each other.
Signal icons are a bit bigger (than the original small ones which look too small besides the battery icon).
The CM's ugly extra-wide wifi icon has been replaced with the original, sleek and elegant wifi icon from Motorola.
Annoying exclamation marks have also been removed!
Original CM look, click to enlarge:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Modified new look, click to enlarge:
I have flashable ZIPs for you which you can simply flash from your custom recovery and your SystemUI.apk will be replaced. Please make a backup of the original file located at /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk. The original file permissions are rw- r-- r-- and chown root:root.
Please note that this file will only work on Moto E XT1022 and most probably other variants as well, you can try, but backup the original before you do so. I will not be responsible for any thermo-nuclear war taking place on your device after this :laugh:
I generally never ask for thanks, but this time I would like to because it was a lot of work :silly:
Download:
Here's the new fixed flashable ZIP for CM12: View attachment finalbc.zip
And here's the one for CM12.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3270867&d=1429455639
This one is for CM12.1 only with roaming icon (R) removed from the signal icons in addition to the other aforementioned modifications: View attachment roaming_removed_temp.zip
Enjoy :victory:
How did I do it:
Decompiled SystemUI.apk
Lollipop uses vectors to draw the status bar icons you see on the top right, means there's no png you can simply replace and get your work done.
I totally removed the vectors references of the required icons and placed raster images in the required resolution folder (Moto E is an hdpi device). When systemUI can't find vectors, it looks for rasters. That did the trick (those XML files are too hard to understand and edit, so I decided to do a trial and throw them away and that worked! )
Did a lot of photoshopping to generate the required icons, resizing them and properly aligning them.
Using raster images also resulted in automatic removal of the annoying exclamation marks which were defined in the vector XMLs.
I also removed the network activity indicators' vector references and replaced them with 1x1 transparent PNG images! Now they are invisible!
The icons are originally from a Nexus device's stock LP. Had to resize and re-align them for our Moto E which is hdpi unlike Nexus.
That's it

If CM12.1's systemUI file is different, then probably it won't but there is no harm in trying, you can always backup the original and restore later. You'll face a systemUI FC if it doesn't work, then you'll have to reboot to recovery to restore your backup.
If you have already downloaded, please re-download the fixed file (fixed some icons alignment problems, now it's perfect ).
I haven't yet moved to CM12.1 as I can't live without xposed

Seems like you understood the mystery behind the file name and also understood my frustration (had to edit, decompile and recompile a hell lot of times, and hence the file name)
I wanted to change the filename before uploading but I forgot, lol. :silly:
Give me your SystemUI.apk and I'll do it
@ChaTy, please make a RAR with the highest compression, I am low on data and my wifi is not working today, so I gotta save up.

Ugh sorry I forgot to mention that I also need framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ because apktool needs resource tables from the framework in order to decompile the systemUI.apk. I tried with CM12's framework-res.apk but as expected, it didn't work
Please ZIP and upload that file but since it is a large file, I won't be able to download it until my wifi works so please be patient
But I still can't guarantee, success only depends on the ability to decompile LP 5.1 files by apktool.

Here you go: View attachment cm-latest.zip
Please note that I have used the latest apktool for LP 5.1 but it's still in alpha stage. Although files were successfully decompiled and recompiled, there is no guarantee that the systemUI would work. Please test it on your CM12.1 and report back.
Please make a backup of your systemUI.apk. If you face FC, go to recovery and copy it back to /system/priv-app/SystemUI/ and set chmod to 0644 and reboot.
Great bro!!
Finally you were able to solve it.

Yeah I know that. Infact, the CM's ugly battery icon was the starting point of my frustration that led me to modify other icons. I attempted modifying the battery icon but it's damn tricky. It resides in the framework-res.apk and I don't understand what to edit and what not. I was unsuccessful and thus adjusted myself with the circle battery icon. I'm sorry, it's a bit too hard for me

ok...bro no problem.....btw nice work
Loving the phone so far, but I've got one annoyance and one problem
1. Can I disable the round icons in the launcher? I love the look but only 50% of my apps are round, the rest are their normal shapes and this grates on me. Wouldn't mind turning it off until 3rd parties update all their apps
2. I cannot sign into chrome beta or dev (and initially struggled with normal Chrome). Hit the sign in button, prompted for my fingerprint. It then goes to the add account page, rather than picking up the account on the phone.
I put my email in and it just says account already on device, and that's it, I can't do anything else, any help would be appreciated!

Manually updated to NDE63P and the sign-in issues are sorted, just the icons to go!

To remove the round icons, you need to decompile framework-res.apk and edit the bools.xml, changing "config_useRoundIcon" to false.
Is there any way to do this without unlocked bootloader/root?
Alternative Solution
I know this isn't really what you asked for, but i also didn't like to have some round and some old Icons and i kinda came up with my own solution .
I just used Materialize (cant post link because this is my first post)
and i changed every icon that i didn't like.
It's pretty easy to use (if you have any questions ask me and i'll see if i know)
Sadly i can't post any screenshots because for spamreasons i have to write 10 posts before i can use external links...
i might post some later
anyway i hope that was usefull for you

once you decompile the apk, navigate to framework-res/res/values/bools.xml. then change the line below from true to false. its at the bottom of the xml file. after you compile the app make sure to sign it. you can sign the modified apk by copying the original Meta-INF folder and androidmanifest.xml from the stock apk to the new apk. to install you can either use twrp file manager or root file browser. push new apk to system/framework. phone will soft reboot. after reboot clear launcher data and you'll have the old icons. some icons did not revert though. that may just be the apps themselves and not the launcher. a good chunk of the google apps do revert to the old style though. i have a flashable zip for pixel that will flash to framework. if you cant get this to work ill send you the framework in a flashable zip.

Is that the hard drive you have windows on? It has to be in you're system. That's why the command isn't recognized. Also do you have the latest Java installed.

Yes. I made one the other day. I'll upload it after work today for you. I'm on Linux so my setup won't help you. I've never run apktool on Windows.
