[MOD][CM9] + [HOWTO] Centered StatusBar Clock

I was searching around the old threads learning how to modify the statusbar layout to enable the clock in the center.
Originally I decompiled SystemUI.apk from the latest CM9 build (Build 02012012), modified statusbar.xml found in SystemUI\res\layout however ICS seems to be a little sensitive when it comes to little statusbar mods. Instead I found a modified statusbar.xml here inside the apk and inserted it into the SystemUI.apk from the latest CM9 resulting in a centered clock.

Of course there are a few bugs however it's something to play around with. Attached is a zipped SystemUI.apk for Build 02012012
*Make a backup first*
Howto via adb:
1. Pull SystemUI.apk from your phone
Code:
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
Instructions:
1. Download the attached apk file
2. Push SystemUI.apk to your phone via adb:
Code:
adb push c:/users/xxx/desktop/SystemUI.apk /system/app
adb reboot
How to edit SystemUI.apk manually - for future cm9 builds:
Guide thanks to this thread
-decompile your SystemUI.apk
-navigate to your decompiled folder and go to res>layout>status_bar.xml
-look for this line:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock
-delete the stock clock line, delete the entire line
-next go to the top of your status_bar.xml and place your cursor at the end of this line:
Code:
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
-press "enter" to create an empty line
-place your cursor at the beginning of that empty line and paste this line of code:
Code:
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:paddingTop="3.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
</LinearLayout>
-make sure everything lines up (see my xml below)
-lastly, find this line:
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/ticker"
-right after "@id/ticker" add this drawable:
Code:
android:background="@drawable/status_bar_bg_tile"
Recompile and if you used apktool sign your new SystemUI.apk
Here is an example of how your status_bar.xml should look like

Don't flood the thread with "CM9 is not even finished, wait for beta to do mods". This is for people who like to try new things.

No worries. For theming it's best to go to that thread which is linked and also try some of the other statusbar mods. This one has a few little bugs such as ghosting some of the icons.

Love the idea but...
I lost my statusbar with this. Second time statusbar works but it's still normal.

thanks for this..

I'm using. Build 02012012. I tried three times and two of those lost my whole statusbar. Tried also with root explorer and same result. Too bad because I really would want that clock to be in center. Right side looks silly.

Could someone help me with this? I've had a lot of trouble with xml's and I can't get this to work.
Here is my systemui.apk, so could someone help me?

Its shall work on any device running ICS and up.

I did but SystemUI Fc's , Any help? :-/

(req) ics app switcher

Idea taken from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563481
Thoroughly an overwhelming task for someone of my skill , but only wanted to share as I think it would be very well received by myself and I'm sure many others if one was to implement this on our devices.
If not, then I hope some at least found the thread interesting
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

wow
that would be awesome.. I am new to the EG4T, but think this would be a great addition to the usability and functionality of it!

I have been following this mod since it showed up and I will probably give it a shot this weekend. Question: what rom are you guys running? Obviously this will only work with ICS but modifying the FC 24 version won't work because there is no stock deodexed available and modifying what someone else has already modified is a PITA. I was thinking about trying this on FC22(because we have stock deodexed) or CM9(which is what I am currently running). The only problem I see with CM9 is the flashing procedure is very risky. I was kind of holding off until the next leak that was deodexed or official. What do you guys think?
Edit: Also the same person did a similar version which is webOS style with cards, but I like the look of this mod better.
Edit: I am going to attempt on FD02, stock deodexed this weekend

It was actually really easy, took some messing with to get it to look the way I wanted but it works great.

Any tips before I give it a shot this weekend on FD02, unless you have already done it?

One thing I did different was to change where the background was called from. I did that to make the background behind the Task manager button work. Here is what my files look like

FD02 Recent Apps Mod
Alright I've got the mod done with a flashable zip. Thank Rujelus22 he posted the changes relative to the E4GT and thank Evilisto for the orginal mod. I also attached a zip that will reverse the changes. This can be flashed on the fd02 stock deodexed rom with the slightly modified kernel that Calk included in the FD02 rom, no wipes necessary. If something goes wrong just flash the undo zip. Please leave feedback.
Also should we start a new thread? Rujelus22, would you mind if I posted the mod?

Wow you guys are fast! Is that zip compatible with the latest Codename? Version 1.6? Of course I'd probably have to flash it through el26 recovery but I'm just wondering if its compatible since its an aosp rom

I do not believe you can compile an apk without a pc. I could be wrong though they always seem to come out with stuff to edit things from the phone.

I am really hesitant to do anything for any of the AOSP roms right now just because of the shaky flashing methods. Plus, it would be really difficult to make the mod for the many different versions of even CNA floating around. I imagine that such an easy mod will eventually get integrated into their settings options. However, with that being said, I am a huge fan of CNA and once it becomes stable and I am running it as a daily I will probably do the mod.

Well, theoretically I could do it on my work PC. Its certainty capable... any chance you could point me in the quickest direction so as not to have to answer any uncomfortable questions?
And possibly a quick, even relatively vague tutorial?

1. Download the tool agat put up in the development section
2. Pull the systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk out of the rom you want to modify.
3. Put them in the _INPUT_APK
4. press 14, drag and drop the apk.
5. Make the changes rejules22 posted.
a. Navigate to res folder and make the changes to the xml identified in the guide.
b. If you look at the original guide, there is a file attached that is the image you need, rename it to recentapp_header and drop it in the res/drawable and res/drawable-HDPI
6. Compile each apk (option 15)
7. Pull the apk from _APK_OUTPUT put the apks in a flashable zip(use a theme and pull the files out).
**Just so you are aware, using these tools with ICS is sometimes difficult because they haven't been updated so it means switching out apktool.jar(s)

Wow that's pretty concise and short enough that I just might attempt it. So will any of the image files from the original post work as long as I rename it correctly and place it in the correct place?
and thanks again for all the help. I'll let u know how it goes!!

Yup they should work. Although, it probably wont work with the windows 7 version because that alters the rotation and swiping of the recent apps but I think his windows 7 version is a whole other thread.

well, after tonight i think i'll have to wait until somebody decides to do it for CNA. Im apparently such a tool that i cant get the APK tool to even open. Says i dont have java installed, which i do. Even the java SDK, and also the Android SDK. Still a no go. Im willing to work on that if someone can point me in the right direction.
As far as the flashing, I was thinking to just push the framework and systemUI apk's using root explorer and reboot. hoping that would work?
Any ideas?

The multitool should just be an archive and all you should have to do is extract it with 7zip or winrar. I have had a lot of issues with using a file explorer to push framework-res.apk it usually causes problems, you can use adb though.

Oh, i did get that far. I extracted it and clicked AutoAPKToolMain and it says "java not found. you will not be able to sign apks or apk tool... hit any key to continue.." then exits

[MOD][GUIDE][JB 4.1.2] AOSP Style Status Bar on Samsung ROMs

G'Day XDA,
I wanted to share with you a few quick and easy mods that I found while modding my phone. Here we go...
[SIZE=+2]AOSP STYLE CLEAR-ALL BUTTON IN EXPANDED STATUS BAR on SAMSUNG ROMs[/SIZE]
Original:
{
"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"
}
Mod:
Ok first things first, you need to decompile SystemUI.apk (I will assume that you know how to copy the apk from your phone using a root explorer and decompile using a program like APK Tool).
Once it has decompiled successfully, open up /res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml and you will see this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:background="#ff000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="39.0dip" android:baselineAligned="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Clock" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:id="@id/clock" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="-3.0dip" android:singleLine="true" systemui:ampmSmall="true" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Date" android:textColor="#ffcbcbcb" android:ellipsize="none" android:id="@id/date" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="8.0dip" android:layout_marginRight="4.0dip" android:maxLines="2" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.RotationToggle android:id="@id/rotation_lock_button" android:visibility="gone" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="32.0dip" android:layout_height="32.0dip" android:layout_margin="8.0dip" android:button="@drawable/ic_notify_rotation" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_rotation_lock_off" />
<Space android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<ImageView android:layout_width="1.0dip" android:layout_height="25.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="7.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="7.0dip" android:src="@drawable/tw_quick_panel_plnm_setting_dv" />
<RelativeLayout android:id="@id/settings_button" android:background="@drawable/tw_quick_panel_setting_button_bg" android:focusable="true" android:visibility="visible" android:layout_width="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_setting_width" android:layout_height="39.0dip">
<ImageView android:id="@id/settings_button_icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/tw_quickpanel_icon_settings" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_settings_button" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Now you need to delete everything after the line which starts with <com.android.systemui.statusbar.RotateToggle and replace it with the following code:
Code:
<ImageView android:id="@id/settings_button" android:layout_width="48.0dip" android:layout_height="48.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_notify_quicksettings" android:scaleType="center" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_settings_button" />
<Space android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/clear_all_button" android:layout_width="48.0dip" android:layout_height="48.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_notify_clear" android:scaleType="center" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_clear_all" />
</LinearLayout>
So your finished file should look exactly like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:background="#ff000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="39.0dip" android:baselineAligned="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Clock" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:id="@id/clock" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="-3.0dip" android:singleLine="true" systemui:ampmSmall="true" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Date" android:textColor="#ffcbcbcb" android:ellipsize="none" android:id="@id/date" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="8.0dip" android:layout_marginRight="4.0dip" android:maxLines="2" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.RotationToggle android:id="@id/rotation_lock_button" android:visibility="gone" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="32.0dip" android:layout_height="32.0dip" android:layout_margin="8.0dip" android:button="@drawable/ic_notify_rotation" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_rotation_lock_off" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/settings_button" android:layout_width="48.0dip" android:layout_height="48.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_notify_quicksettings" android:scaleType="center" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_settings_button" />
<Space android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/clear_all_button" android:layout_width="48.0dip" android:layout_height="48.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_notify_clear" android:scaleType="center" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_clear_all" />
</LinearLayout>
What this does is it moves the settings icon from the far right to the left next to the date (notice the first line we deleted started with <Space and the line we replaced it with was <ImageView android:id="@id/settings_button") and also adds the clear all button (@id/clear_all_button) to the top right.
Now save tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml and close it.
So now the clear all button is going to be showing on the top right of the status bar, but there will also be a clear all button in the notification area, like this picture:
So we need to open up tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and look for the following line:
Code:
<TextView android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_clear_button_text_size" android:textColor="@color/tw_status_bar_clear_btn_text" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/clear_all_button" android:background="@drawable/tw_btn_default_small" android:padding="0.100000024dip" android:focusable="true" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_clear_button_width" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginRight="4.0dip" android:text="@string/status_bar_clear_all_button" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_clear_all" />
and delete it.
The reason why we delete that is because it is the button which has the text Clear All that appears on the right side of the Notifications header when you have notifications, which we don't need as there is already a nice AOSP style button we can press in the top right of the expanded status bar .
Now save tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and close it.
Now recompile SystemUI.apk, and either change it's name by removing the 'unsigned' from the start of it's name, push it to your device (don't forget to change permissions to RW-R--R--) and reboot OR take those 2 files from the newly compiled unsignedSystemUI.apk and put them in a VRTheme zip, flash them in recovery and VOILA! I have included a VRTheme Zip to this post called 'AOSP Clear All Button' which you can download and flash in recovery as well.
Easy, even for a noob like me Enjoy.
[SIZE=+2]EDIT CLEAR ALL BUTTON TO INCLUDE FOCUS OPTION[/SIZE]
You can also do a minor change to an xml file and add an icon to SystemUI.apk to allow for a 'focus' option of the new clear all button that you have re-added.
In your APK Tool directory in /projects/SystemUI.apk navigate to /res/drawable and open up ic_notify_clear.xml you will see this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_notify_clear_pressed" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_notify_clear_normal" />
</selector>
So this means the button acts in a very basic way. When the button appears in the expanded status bar, you will be looking at the icon ic_notify_clear_normal.png which is in the /res/drawable-hdpi folder, and when you press it, it changes to the icon ic_notify_clear_pressed.png which is also in the /res/drawable-hdpi folder. What we want to do is add some more code in there to allow for the icon to change to a third icon when we press and hold (focus) on it,
So you need to change the content of ic_notify_clear.xml to the following:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_notify_clear_pressed" />
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:state_enabled="true" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_notify_clear_normal" />
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_notify_clear_normal" />
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_notify_clear_pressed" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="true" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_notify_clear_focus" />
<item android:state_enabled="true" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_notify_clear_normal" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_notify_clear_focus" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_notify_clear_normal" />
</selector>
So what this does is it tells the SystemUI.apk to change the icon we see when we press and hold on the clear all button from the normal ic_notify_clear_press.png to a new icon which I have called ic_notify_clear_focus.png which you will need to create using an icon editor. I use Greenfish Icon Editor Pro but lots of people use Photoshop as well.
To create the icon, I opened up ic_notify_clear_pressed.png from the /res/drawable-hdpi folder and added more of a glow effect to it. I have attached a copy of it to the post. You can create your own though, if you want to. What you will need to do it copy it into the /res/drawable-hdpi folder and after changing the ic_notify_clear.xml from the /res/drawable folder you will then need to save the file, close it and recompile the apk.
Now if you want to push it back into /system/app on your phone then do that (don't forget to change permissions to RW-R--R--) but if, like me, you wish to flash it in recovery using a VRTheme zip file, then you will need to do a few steps. Firstly, out of the newly recompile unsignedSystemUI.apk you will need take the new icon you created and put it into /vrtheme/preload/symlink/system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi in the VRTheme zip file and you will also need to take the ic_notify_clear.xml that you edited out of the recompiled apk and put it into /vrtheme/preload/symlink/system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable in the zip file. Then you will need to close the zip file.
Now the next thing we have to do is take the resources.arsc file from our newly re-compiled unsignedSystemUI.apk and save it on the computer somewhere (I usually put it on the desktop so I know where it is and then delete it afterwards) and then you will need to us a zip program like WinRar to open up the VRTheme zip file. I don't use 7Zip for this part because I can't get it to simply store a file instead of compressing it. So we need to use WinRar to open up the VRTheme zip file and navigate to /vrtheme/preload/symlink/system/app/SystemUI.apk and you will see the res folder in the window. Now drag the resources.arsc file that you saved into the window and when the box comes up that asks you how you want to compress it, you need to change it to the 'store' option so that it doesn't compress the resources.arsc file at all.
I can't include the resources.arsc file as if you have any other mods or icons or anything in your SystemUI.apk, it will be incompatible with the resources.arsc file from my System UI.apk. I have, however, included a VRTHeme zip file to this post called 'Clear All Button Focus' which has the icon and xml file that we edited earlier, that you can add your resources.arsc file to and flash in recovery.
Enjoy!
[SIZE=+2]AOSP SIGNAL & WIFI INDICATORS[/SIZE]
Another quick and easy mod that I found was the layout of the signal & wifi indicators in the status bar.
Original
Mod
In SystemUI.apk/res/layout open up tw_signal_cluster view. You will see this.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.SignalClusterView android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<FrameLayout android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/wifi_combo" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView android:id="@id/wifi_signal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@id/wifi_inout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</FrameLayout>
<View android:id="@id/spacer" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="6.0dip" android:layout_height="6.0dip" />
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/new_mobile_combo" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/separate_mobile" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView android:id="@id/separate_mobile_type" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/separate_mobile_inout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<FrameLayout android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/mobile_combo" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView android:id="@id/mobile_signal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/mobile_type" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom|right|center" android:id="@id/mobile_inout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/mobile_roaming" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</FrameLayout>
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView android:id="@id/airplane" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.SignalClusterView>
The first line we need to edit is this:
Code:
<FrameLayout android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/wifi_combo" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
Directly after the android:layout_height="wrap_content" and before the > we need to add android:layout_marginRight="0.0dip" .
So now that line should look like this:
Code:
<FrameLayout android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/wifi_combo" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="0.0dip">
The next line we need to edit is this:
Code:
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@id/wifi_inout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
In the very first part of the line android:layout_gravity="center" we need to add bottom| directly before center" . Directly after android:layout_height="wrap_content" we need to add android:layout_marginLeft="-6.0dip" before the last />
So now that line should look like this:
Code:
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom|center" android:id="@id/wifi_inout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="-6.0dip" />
Now we need to focus on this section here:
Code:
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/separate_mobile" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView android:id="@id/separate_mobile_type" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/separate_mobile_inout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<FrameLayout android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/mobile_combo" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView android:id="@id/mobile_signal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/mobile_type" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom|right|center" android:id="@id/mobile_inout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/mobile_roaming" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</FrameLayout>
</FrameLayout>
We need to change that whole section with this:
Code:
<RelativeLayout android:gravity="center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerVertical="true">
<FrameLayout android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/mobile_combo" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView android:id="@id/mobile_signal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/mobile_type" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom|right|center" android:id="@id/mobile_inout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/mobile_roaming" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</FrameLayout>
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/separate_mobile" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerVertical="true">
<ImageView android:id="@id/separate_mobile_type" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom|right|center" android:id="@id/separate_mobile_inout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="0.8000001dip" />
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Your fully edited tw_signal_cluster_view.xml should now look like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.SignalClusterView android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"

That's it for the coding. You will also need to replace a number of icons in /res/drawable-hdpi which start with stat_sys. I have included them in a zip file called AOSP Signal Icons Only which is attached to this post.
Just put them all into /res/drawable-hdpi then recompile and enjoy. I have also attached a VRTheme zip file called AOSP Signal & Wifi Indicators.zip which you can flash from recovery.
That's it. See, easy as! Enjoy

Hey daveyannihilation,
Thanks for the great tutorial,
it took me a while but i finally managed to achieve this mod on my phone,
i was even able to take it a step further and move the settings button to the left of the statusbar
I like the look of the stock settings icon, so i used that instead of the aosp one
Again thanks for the great tutorial

Hey Tired Storeman,
That looks great! Top work mate. Glad the tutorial was useful for you. To get the settings button where it is in your screenshot, did you put that particular line before the clock reference lines to achieve your desire effect?

To be honest i didnt try putting it before the clock, i didnt think that would work, because i centered the clock
i used android
layout_marginLeft="-108.0dip"
after
android:layout_height="48.0dip"
if you find a better way of doing it, could you let me know, for future references

Any way of removing the settings button? I tried deleting that line and went into a bootloop. Maybe I need to edit some other part of the apk..

Removing the @id/settings_button lines should do this.
Delete from the original code:
Code:
<RelativeLayout android:id="@id/settings_button" android:background="@drawable/tw_quick_panel_setting_button_bg" android:focusable="true" android:visibility="visible" android:layout_width="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_setting_width" android:layout_height="39.0dip">
<ImageView android:id="@id/settings_button_icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/tw_quickpanel_icon_settings" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_settings_button" />
</RelativeLayout>
Or maybe just change android:visibility="visible" to android:visibility="gone"
Or delete from the modified code:
Code:
<ImageView android:id="@id/settings_button" android:layout_width="48.0dip" android:layout_height="48.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_notify_quicksettings" android:scaleType="center" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_settings_button" />
Your bootloop could due to a bad recompile of SystemUI.apk

Thanks for the reply. Tried the last option you gave me because I do want the AOSP style, just not the settings button there as well. Still giving me a bootloop. I don't think it's a bad recompile as I tried it a multiple times with the same result.
Tried changing the width and height to wrap_content, as that seem to make it flexible, got through to Android is upgrading part but bootloop after that.. T_T
I'm probably naive but I don't see how deleting that one line, which seems sensible enough, causes a bootloop.. Probably will have to stick with settings button until I figure out a way.. unless you might have some other ideas?

Does it work if you don't delete the line?
Just a thought: When you decompiled SystemUI.apk, did you install the two frameworks first (framework-res.apk & twframework-res.apk)?

Yup following the guide as it is works fine. Just starts bootlooping if I delete the line..
Do you mean "apktool if frameworks"? Then I haven't done so.. worked fine without it so far so didn't really give it a thought. I'll try it out when I get home (if that is what you meant)

Yes, "if" the two frameworks when you decompile SystemUI.apk and don't delete them before you recompile.
Another thought: Instead of deleting the line, try adding: android:visibility="gone" to it instead - it maybe that the missing id for the settings_button is causing an issue.

The visibility thing worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for your help

Hi all;
I'm trying to do something and I've seen this thread.
I've replaced the alarm clock icon by this one (the little thin line at left of wifi icon)
Ok, what I want is to have this icon beside the clock, like this:
How can I get this? I've tried changing many things in SystemUI's xml but I'm unable to get it...
Can anybody give me a hand? Thanks in advance!

[02/06] [How to] Custom txt/Carrier/center clock/custom icons/left side icons etc

Hello there
Here is a simple guide to add a Custom name to top-left status bar.
All You need is:
- Know how to decompile/recompiling Apk file
- notepad++
- Tool for decompiling, : apkmanager/apktool/Virtous/apkmultitools ...
1. Decompile SystemUI.apk
2. navigate to res/layout/status_bar.xml
3.Open Status_bar.xml with notepad++
4.Copy this line like the following example:
Code:
<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="left|center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="@string/hello" android:singleLine="true" />
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.PhoneStatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/status_bar" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background" android:focusable="true" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
<ImageView android:id="@id/notification_lights_out" android:paddingBottom="2.0dip" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="@dimen/status_bar_icon_size" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_lights_out_dot_small" android:scaleType="center" android:paddingStart="6.0dip" />
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/status_bar_contents" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:paddingStart="6.0dip" android:paddingEnd="6.0dip">

<ImageView android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingStart="4.0dip" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/ticker" android:animationCache="false" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:paddingStart="6.0dip">
<ImageSwitcher android:id="@id/tickerIcon" android:layout_width="@dimen/status_bar_icon_size" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_icon_size" android:layout_marginEnd="4.0dip">

<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.PhoneTicker" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.TickerView>
</LinearLayout>
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.PhoneStatusBarView>
"android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" means that your custom text will have same colors and dimensions defined for clock (these are defined in /values/styles: 16dip and Holo Blue Light ).
If You want to add Your dip and your preferred color, just replaces above line with this:
android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffa6a6a6"
Code:
<TextView [COLOR="Red"]android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffa6a6a6"[/COLOR] android:gravity="left|center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="@string/hello" android:singleLine="true" />
You can change text color and size to fit your needs.
android:textSize="x.0dip"
and android:textColor="#hex code of Your preferred color"
for example #ffdd4814 is Ubuntu Orange
5) Now, the last step:
Navigate to res/values/string
and add this at the end of the file:
Code:
<string name="hello">Your text here</string>
Like this example:
Code:
... <string name="quick_settings_rssi_label">RSSI</string>
<string name="quick_settings_rssi_emergency_only">Emergency Calls Only</string>
<string name="quick_settings_settings_label">Settings</string>
<string name="quick_settings_time_label">Time</string>
<string name="quick_settings_user_label">Me</string>
<string name="quick_settings_wifi_label">Wi-Fi</string>
<string name="quick_settings_wifi_not_connected">Not Connected</string>
<string name="quick_settings_wifi_no_network">No Network</string>
<string name="quick_settings_wifi_off_label">Wi-Fi Off</string>
<string name="quick_settings_wifi_display_label">Wi-Fi Display</string>
<string name="quick_settings_wifi_display_no_connection_label">Wireless Display</string>
<string name="quick_settings_brightness_dialog_title">Brightness</string>
<string name="quick_settings_brightness_dialog_auto_brightness_label">AUTO</string>
<string name="status_bar_help_title">Notifications appear here</string>
<string name="status_bar_help_text">"Access them anytime by swiping down.
Swipe down again for system controls."</string>
<string name="accessibility_sleep_button">Sleep button.</string>
[COLOR="Red"]<string name="hello">Your text here</string>[/COLOR]
</resources>
6) Recompile back ... enjoy!!

Thanks. I will try it right away. But a last question: Which decompile and compile application do you recommend? I tried APK multitool but I can not compile and i allways have an error 21 message.
Edit: in Androidmultitools, when i try to compile after changes you mentioned i got this error message:

I'm using apktool ... I've never user this..

Are you using linux (32 or 64 bit ?) or windows?
You coukd try to delete all installed frameworks and install it again

I am using win7 64 bit in Turkish. I think this happens because of language and turkish characters. Especially in Turkish majuscule (i) is (İ) instead of (I) as it is in mainly western languages. I think that makes a unharmoniesness in application. I changed clavier in english, but does not work still because language is Turkish. Unfortunately changing language is no t possible once you install it in certain langue. Now i will try it to do in linux. Many thanks for your help.
btw the way, i could not find d\systemui\sta tusbar\AnimatedImageView.smali. is there a typing error or is my bad?

yes.. i think this is the problem. If you will use apktool in a 64bit linux distro, be sure to install necessary dependencies to avoid error 2 during compilation, because aapt & others are 32bit commands and need ia32-libs package to work correctly ...
so, apt-get install ia32-libs

I tried during tha last 4 days to compile systemui.apk file using almost every application, but no succes. I tried it on my win8 tablet in english language. İt decompile and compile the file unchanged, but not changed one. I have not installed linux unfortunately. I would be very grateful if you try compiling in linux maguro_JRW66Y stock and changed systemui files added below.

@adamslast what are the changes You did?
I see no changes in res folder
Have You changed only the smali folder? Will I have to replace smali folder and recompile back?
here is recompiled systemUI without errors:

So many thanks! :good:
The changes are in status_bar.xml, ids.xml and styles.xml. I also add some java files in smali folder, two as you mentioned in your post. Mainly changes other than yours are:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241739
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35864541&postcount=785.
I will try it right now. Your help very appreciated.

ok.. I found the error
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel [COLOR="Red"]<TextView[/COLOR] android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffff" android:gravity="left|center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
<TextView is a Class that displays text to the user and optionally allows them to edit it. A TextView is a fixed text...
Here You are using <com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel that let You to display the Carrier Label using smali to display a dinamic text
so You can't use two classes in one line
When You want to modify color and dip of <com.android. etc ... ... ... > You should add
Code:
android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffff"
The correct one is this:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel [COLOR="Red"]android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffff"[/COLOR] android:gravity="left|center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
For example, in KBmeter guide, if You wanna change the color and dip of the kbmeter
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Traffic android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Traffic" android:gravity="right|center" android:id="@id/traffic" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Then delete android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Traffic"
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Traffic [COLOR="Red"]android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Traffic"[/COLOR] android:gravity="right|center" android:id="@id/traffic" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
and add android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffff" ... like this:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Traffic [COLOR="Red"]android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffff"[/COLOR] android:gravity="right|center" android:id="@id/traffic" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Once done, You can delete also the style You created in /values/styles.xml
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Traffic" parent="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock">
<item name="android:textSize">14.0dip</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
</style>
and recompile back
Here is the files corrected

All changes properties work great. The only thing left to do is changing the color of the signals and the clock from blue to white like others. Could you give me some ideas about how to do it please, if you dont mind. Many thanks.

For clock:
decompile systemUI I give to You yesterday
Navigate in /res/values/styles.xml
and open it
search for
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" parent="@*android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">
<item name="android:textSize">16.0dip</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
[COLOR="Red"]<item name="android:textColor">@*android:color/holo_blue_light</item>[/COLOR]
</style>
Change it like this:
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" parent="@*android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">
<item name="android:textSize">16.0dip</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
[COLOR="Red"]<item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>[/COLOR]
</style>
@adamslast
To change icons to white simply copy and paste this resources in drawable-xhdpi (in decompiled SystemUI) folder overwriting the originals ones
