[MOD] No navi button MOD for JB/ICS Razr M xt907 Roms - Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps

No USER friendly! Sorry I can't create update.zip
Need Safestrap for BackUP and change permissions (chmod -R 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk).
This mod can open for you full screen display in Razr M without loose toggle bar, just copy framework with style what you want to /system/framework dir, and change permission to file.
Files in zip for 4.1.1 & 4.0.4 Android.
noVbutton - no navibar in Vertical orientation, yes in Horizontal
noV-Hbutton - no navibar in Vertical orientation, no in Horizontal
origin - original file
Of course you can change all manually if decompile framework-res.apk and find file named dimens.xml
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">18.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">18.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">42.0dip</dimen>

Thank you! I've been trying to figure out if this could be done. Swapped in your file using Root Explorer on the phone, everything crashed (kinda expected). Rebooted, changed permissions, and now she's working great!

Ugh, tried to follow in your footsteps but got totally screwed. Wasnt able to chmod, tried rebooting and stuck in bootloop

Developer only?
Does this work for the developer and regular versions? Anyone tried this with the official JB OTA from Verizon?

I used Root Explorer, not a terminal. Running on stock Verizon Jelly Bean, retail version.

It Works!
Yeah, FINALLY! Get rid of that craptastic waste-of-space navbar.
If anybody want to know, here's how I did it:
Note: I used root explorer
1. I used my windows 7 machine to extract the version of framework-res I wanted.
In my case, i'm on the 4.1.1 JB Verizon OTA, so I chose the 4.1.1 noV-Hbutton.
2.Copy the framework-res of your choice to the root of your internal storage card.
3. Using your file manager (Root explorer in my case) copy the framework file from your internal storage to "\system\" NOT "\system\framework\". Note, if you do this step and it asks you if you want to overwrite "framework-res.apk" STOP!
4. Using your file manager, write down the permissions for your existing "\system\framework\framework-res.apk".
5.Go to the framework-res.apk you just copied "\system\framework-res.apk" and change permissions to match those of your existing framework-res file.
6. AFTER the permissions have been changed and verified (I exited completely out of root explorer, then re-opened it and double checked that the permissions where the same) you can safely move and over-write the file in "\system\framework\".
7. Here's the reason. If you just copy the modified framework file straight from your internal memory to its home in "\system\framework\" the permissions won't be right, and there is a VERY good chance you will end up in an endless bootloop. Copying the file to "\system" first gives you the opportunity to modify its permissions BEFORE overwriting the existing framework file.
Good luck!
Update: Not sure why, and it isn't causing any problems, but every time I reboot the phone, it goes through the "android is upgrading your apps" dialogue".

Guess I got lucky avoiding a bootloop. I just copied the new file, went to /system/framework, renamed the current file, and pasted in the new one. Then all the applications crashed, I rebooted, and changed the permissions. I did have to sign back into all my accounts (Google, Facebook, etc), but zero issues since then.
I'm still loving it! The nav buttons took up so much space. The new version of LMT that you can trigger from the bottom makes it perfect.

same thing happened to me
I got moved the new framework file into the folder except I accidentally deleted it at the same time. Everything started to "stop working" and after I did a hard reset recovery (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) it stays stuck on the "android" boot loop (past the motorola logo) any help on restoring my phone??

The framework in the OP doesn't work with Eclipse Rom so I recompiled it from the eclipse framework. Same instructions as OP just different file.
So to recover, this is for Eclipse 1.1 no buttons

I would like to do this for TB. Are you using apktools?

im running cm10 beta on my razr m and i found that simply adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1", to the end of your build.prop without the " then reboot. This will make the bottom nav bar disappear.
I found this by accident attempting to make the nav bar translucent so im not sure why it works, but it does for me.

It causes systemui.apk to FC on stock based ROMS. Great for CM10 based ROMs.

Yea just decompile the framework from the rom you want and edit the lines in the op to all zeros. It's located in the "values/dims.xml" (I think). Recompile apk then drop in the meta folder from the original framework inside the new framework (I used 7zip). Just copy to phone, set permissions, and reboot.

[help] problems changing status bar notification icons

Hello XDA,
I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to change the status bar notification icon for a new sms from the standard Samsung closed envelope icon to the stock AOSP ICS square smiley face with the little tail. I have already got the icon and it is the correct size and file type (.png) and name (stat_notify_message.png) and I have tried a few ways of adding it into Mms.apk such as simply using 7Zip and decompiling & recompiling numerous times but the end result is always that the Messaging app is being removed completely and I'm having to restore a nandroid backup to get it back.
I have been looking all over XDA and have used trusty old Google to find solutions to my problem. Both come up with lots of different ways to theme, but none that solve my problem (as far as I can see anyway). Could anyone please point me in the right direction to find the guide on how to do it/explain to me how to do it successfully?
I am on a stock odexed XWLPG rom which is rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If I remember correctly, its in SystemUI.apk

What I have done in the past is put the mms.apk on your pc. Use 7zip to OPEN ARCHIVE (NOT EXTRACT), then put the NEW .png file with the correct name on your pc. Now without unzipping the mms.apk just use 7zip to find the location of the file you want to replace. Now just hold down on the new .png file and drag it into the corrext location. Then 7zip will ask if you are sure you want to replace it. Hit ok or yes or whatever it says. Now move the mms.apk back onto your phone. Use root explorer and move it to /system. Then long press on it and choose permissions. Change it to rw,r,r. Then long press again and select MOVE. Then navigate to /system/app and paste. Reboot phone. It will work.
For some .apk they are picky like mms.apk dont like being extracted and zipped back up for some reason while others have NO issues when you extract them and rezip and rename then place them in.

Is that "stat_notify_email_generic.png" in the .apk, res, drawable-hdpi, by any chance?
Although, I think RockRatt may be on the ball. He posted while I was writing this.

If you copy the drawable-hdpi folder somewhere outside the zip, look at the 'stat_notify_blahblah.png' then you can see what ones you want to change over

Thank you so much RockRatt, you have solved my problem. Words cannot express my relief, thanks & gratitude for your sound advice. I had tried what you said to do previously, but never with the permission changes. Is that something that needs to be done for every apk or just some? Thanks once again, I am so happy! What an easy was to change the icon. It looks great. See screenshots.
So anyone out there in XDA land that is looking for a quick, easy mod (provided you're rooted) then simply follow RockRatt's easy to follow guide and you will never go wrong. And give him a thanks if his guide helped you in any way!!

You can clear the cache & dalvik-cache either before or after flashing the battery mod. I'd probably try it before and see how you go.
You know how to clear the dalvik-cache, yes??
I think the problem with the VK battery files is they are from a pre jkay release. Now the Rom is using jkay framework I don't think you can flash them. It could be possible to swap the icons like the OP did though using 7zip?

Well I'm not sure why Samsung does this, however it drives me nuts. So here is the phone.apk without the increasing ringtone stuff.
Flash in recovery.
You must delete the "SecPhone.odex" in /system/app after installing. Until I can make a time to have the zip do it. Thanks

I was looking for a way to disable this.. thanks!
Thanks man.. awesome mod...needed this
I flashed from recovery, rebooted and it said updating apps,starting apps, had my wife call but it still does that lame ascending ringtone. I tried rebooting and now every time it reboots it says updating apps, starting apps.. sucks lol takes a little longer to start up now. Any way to fix? I also found the file you talked about deleting but it said it was read only.

Not sure I can be of much more help if you're on a deodexed ROM already. I've stuck with rooted/de-bloated stock for the time being. Wiping the caches solved it for me, aside from the first boot after the cache wipe, of course, but I'm still fully odexed aside from that one file I deleted.
It worked for me this time, thinfs different from the first try, im now on the lite de-bloated stock rom and modded kernel

So it looks like I need to modify the zip install to remove the .odex file.
Makes sense since de-odexing turns the .odex into a classes file inside the apk, which is then edited. I'll edit the zip today to remove to .odex file.

Your phone has to be rooted and you need to have any root explorer installed.
1. I'd suggest to back up SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex from the folder /system/app and to think about a recovery plan if something goes wrong.
2. Copy my SystemUI.apk into the folder /system and change its permissions to rw-r--r-- (644).
3. Delete SystemUI.odex from /system/app and move SystemUI.apk file from the folder /system to the folder /system/app with a replacement of the existing file.
4. After a successful replacement you will probably get some errors, all you need is to restart the device.
PS if you don't know or understand anything from the above firstly read about it then act or otherwise you can damage your smartphone.
I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong.
That all makes sense, only thing I don't know how to do is change permissions for the apk. How do I do that?
EDIT: using both es explorer or androzip i'm unable to move the file to the system folder. I have no idea how to get it there. Should I try a different file explorer?

To change the permissions you need to go to the file properties. After that just cut-paste it into the app folder. Es file explorer always works for me . However it had a strange behaviour when I tried to use 'copy to' or 'move to', so just cut-paste.
Finally got this going thanks to your patience! I had to leave the permissions to rwe and only copy/paste would work for some reason. Had to reset my wallpaper and turn data back on after reboot.
Otherwise all good, thanks!

You are including Meta-Inf but that is also directly tied to android manifest.xml
So make sure you are dragging the old meta-inf and manifest as they must match. Thats what forms the signature.
On a dirty flash the signatures were already matched in the ROM so they were not checked again.
On a clean flash the signatures are not matching hence system apps not loading causing bootloops or constant boot animation.....

SystemUI.apk messed up, how the?

Jedi Sons of Android build, and I lost my SystemUI after installing another I found.
Here are the instructions I found and using ES File Explorer
ffirstly copy the file to system
mount r/w
and change the permission to 644 or rw-r--r--
now move systemui.apk to system/app
and restart phone,

Click to collapse
now I have no top bar or any lock screen, what did I do wrong? I don't mind reflashing my rom, I just don't want to lose what I haven't backed up from my settings and such.
EDIT: Just got sick of it and did a nandroid. Can't seem to delete the thread.

Just a question @ 3:30 a.m. mind you ... but ... couldn't have you just moved the file back? Reverse the procedure so to speak? Sounds like you had dependencies issues.

Valid question, but I did try. And nothing changed. Rebooted, tried again, repeat. Failed.
