[MOD][HOW-TO] AOSP Style Notification Drawer "Clear Notifications" Button

This guide will allow you to move the clear notifications button in a TW ROM to the position common in AOSP ROMS.
This mod also removes the notification text, allowing a little more room for notifications.
Decompile SystemUI.apk and navigate to res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded.xml then delete the line in red.
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/noNotificationsTitle" android:focusable="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_category_text_size" android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="@color/notification_category_color" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/noNotificationsText" android:paddingLeft="11.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_category_height" android:text="@string/status_bar_no_notifications_title" />

First
and woohoo...going to try this out tomorrow !
That clear button from TW is my most hated feature.
Thanks again for this

Things are only getting better for TW ROM's. Thanks dev for this shre

Awesome work! Can't wait for this mod to eventually make its way to your S3R ROM.
Now if we could only get the smooth scrolling in notification window like in AOSP ROMs.

Wow I feel like a tool
Assumption, small fonts, and hidden avatars in the XDA app are a bad mix when you're half asleep.
My apologies. Looks like I'll be trying out CSROM again very soon. Im assuming(there's that word again!) it will make its way there. Or has it already?

Success. You made my day !
Now how would I go about changing the button icon ? When looking at the code see its listed at tw_button_small or something like that yet I don't see that PNG. With the CM status bar you change the PNG but TW clear button seems different
When I tried to change the color I kept getting compiling errors so maybe in wasn't doing it correctly but I'll keep at troubleshooting that one.

The drawable/tw_btn_default_small" is actually an xml file in the res/drawable then it points to these.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:[email protected]/tw_quick_panel_clearbtn_press" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:[email protected]/tw_quick_panel_clearbtn_focus" />
<item android:state_selected="true" android:[email protected]/tw_quick_panel_clearbtn_select" />
<item android:state_enabled="true" android:[email protected]/tw_quick_panel_clearbtn_normal" />
<item android:[email protected]/tw_quick_panel_clearbtn_normal" />
</selector>
And there in the res/drawable-xhdpi forlder. Those are the images that would need edited.

Correct. And if you want to use an AOSP style clear button (offset horizontal slashes), be sure to set your clear button text to 0dp.

[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

I hope you all 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.

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!

[Help] Change the width of the Notification panel date

As there is a clock on the statusbar and the homescreen, i dont see the need for one on the notification panel status bar as well.
I have managed to remove the notification panel clock
and change the notification panel date to a single line.
I am wanting to increase the width of the notification panel date.
after which i will increase the text size.
However i cannot find which xml file controls the width of the date.
as you can see by my screenshot the single line date is still the original width, only showing part of the date
Does anybody know the name and location of the xml file which controls the width of the notification panel date?
Any help would be greatly apreciated

hello mate.
I think u should open tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and look for the blue higlighted line below:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Date" android:textColor="#ffcbcbcb" android:ellipsize="none" android:id="@id/date" [COLOR="Blue"]android:layout_width="wrap_content"[/COLOR] android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="8.0dip" android:layout_marginRight="4.0dip" android:maxLines="2" />
never try editing this before, but u could try changing the width to something like android:layout_width="48.0dip" try changing the numbers to fit the size.
Cheers..

"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>

[Q] [Help Needed] Battery Icon from xposed

I want to know how can i track battery using an xposed module, remove the existing battery meter, and add my own battery meter dynamically. I have no idea how to begin with this. I saw some source codes, but couldn't understand how they work. Please provide with some examples or basic ideas to get started with (links also would be very helpful)
The following is the layout file in my ROM (CoolUI8):
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/system_icons" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<com.android.keyguard.AlphaOptimizedLinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/statusIcons" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<include android:id="@id/msim_hd_voice_on" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginStart="2.0dip" layout="@layout/hd_voice_on" />

<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Text.Style" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/battery_level" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/battery_level_padding_end" />
<FrameLayout android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/battery_group" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView android:id="@id/battery_frame" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_frame" android:scaleType="center" />
<com.android.systemui.BatteryMeterView android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="25.0dip" android:layout_height="12.0dip" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/battery_charge" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="25.0dip" android:src="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_charge_flag" android:scaleType="center" />
</FrameLayout>
</com.android.systemui.BatteryViewGroup>
</LinearLayout>
I have been successful in hiding the existing battery meter (hid the whole FrameLayout with the id: battery_group), but i want to add custom battery meter there... Please reply if you have any information related to this topic
