[MOD][ROOT][4.2.2](updated 03-09)SystemUI's Soft Keys Enabled, Transparent Bar Etc.;) - Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps

Did you notice that samsung disabled the soft keys in its 4.2.2 "update"?
Whenever one adds the line:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
in the build.prop and reboot then the systemui constantly forces close, thanks to samsung aka sam sucks:cyclops:
I don't know for you guys, but as for me I was annoyed cuz I can't live without soft keys. So I modded the SystemUi, and while I was at it I made the notification bar transparent, and put some green (my favorite color) here and there. Then I thought that some people may be interested, and that's why I share it here...
DISCLAIMER
I'm not responsible if anything happens, do a backup just in case.
INSTALLATION
You need to be rooted, and of course to be on 4.2.2
1-using your favorite root browser add in your build.prop:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
when done don't forget to set the perms to rw, r, r
2-go to recovery and install the zip
3-before to leave recovery wipe dalvik cache and cache
4-reboot, now you have a transparent notification bar, some nice green and soft keys.
The keys look pretty big, if it disturbs you then change your phone's DPI. As for me I use 110 for the whole phone, 160 for Android System and 130 for SystemUI, but it works with other settings, see which one fits you the best.
Have a look at the screenshoot below to see if this SystemUI inspires you...
You will notice an arrow on the left, it's there cuz I have good hopes to enable the mini tray drawer as an alternative multiwindows launcher. If I don't manage then I'll remove this arrow in a further version.
Edit 1:
Actually I don't like this unuseful arrow, and after all it's not so much work to remove it, so I made an other version without it.
Now you can choose, with or without arrow...
There is still room for some minor improvements and I'll do it when I have time, but for now I want to concentrate on making a Floating Multi Windows mod...
Edit 2:
I made 2 more versions.
I colored the soft keys, and I have made the separation between the notification toggles transparent, have a look at the screenshots and see if you like it.
One version has holes above the soft keys, the zip is labeled ColoredNoArrowSoftKeys.
The second version doesn't have the holes but has blueish lines instead, the zip is labeled V2ColoredNoArrowSoftKeys.
Enjoy!

Sir you solved my confusion...
I changed dpi thn added softkey syntax in built prop... what i got was loops..
I blamed pit file of leaked rom.. n till today.
Now I got cleared that softkey is disabled in 4 2 2
Uncle fab you are fabulous.. Thanks
To err is human; to forgive is divine

Few questions
Can you provide stock system ui app?
Can I remove phone, dialer and replace it with third party apps?
I saw navigation right left keys on softly bar when keyboard in active in k2wl rom. Is that possible on your mod?
To err is human; to forgive is divine

Stock systemui, yeah, sure, but why? If you don't want the soft keys just disable the build prop line. Or maybe you want to mod it?
Anyway, here it is...
It's possible to change the keys order of course, you just have to decompile the app and remap, easy.
Phone apk you can't remove as far as I know cuz then you don't have any connectivity anymore (I didn't try with this rom though, but I had with previous ones). Stock dialer, maybe, I never thought about it actually, thanks for the idea!
I will see this when I revert back to 4.1.2 in as few days, cuz this 4.2.2 goes more and more on my nerves, it's not an upgrade but a downgrade!
Edit:
the first time the systemui pretended it was uploaded but it wasn't, so I tried again and here it is.
Before to flash anything always have a look at what's inside the zip. First to make sure that you are ok with the files inside, second to learn, and third to make a backup of your original files.

Same here... 4.2.2 is head ache.. I will revert too. 4.2.2 seems unfinished yet.
I need system ui to compare both apk n learn. But I'm enough with 4.2.2.

Yes.. I learned that late.. I cursed me after finding that I could have backup.
Thanks but I will revert back after getting reason for considering 4.2.2 as downgrade
To err is human; to forgive is divine

Previous post updated with the app...
Why a downgrade?
Higher ram consumption, no more floating multiwindows, sooooo much bloatware (a new record, I removed like 170 or 180 stock apks), google's latest spyware aka fusedlocation.apk that one can't get rid of, incompatibilities with xprivacy, lags with my favorite file manager, can't remove some unuseful xmls (well, for me they are unuseful but for google they help spying, in 4.1.2 I had removed all that trash), annoying persistent notification if I disable background sync, etc...
Actually it's not grand related, it's a 4.2.2 problem, I had some of those issues with my tab running cm 10.1 and you know what?
I reverted to 4.1.2 on my tab, such a relief!!!:silly:
I hope it will get better with 4.3 and 5+ but i'm not very confidend about it, at least when it comes to bloatware and spyware, it's the direction google and samsung follow, you remember the discussion we had a while ago...

I do remember. I get tired of blocking white collar spy wares.. Mr. GOOGLE... Blocking them makes system unstable.
I doubted on fusedlocation as it was present in all roms here... Aopk cm10.1...
Means 4.2.2 is loaded with monitoring system.? I removed bloatware but they were 70... Hence, I could figure out just half! Uncle fab provide list of apps which can be removed in a separate thread. I'm very much aware that you made in post but a thread will be handy...
Another queries....
Will battery usage improve in 4.1.2 ?
Is your multi window mod in 4.1.2 bug free?
Can you add navigation option in your soft key bar?
To err is human; to forgive is divine

I will make a thread about safe to remove apps for 4.2.2 in a few days when I have time.
Regarding battery I can't tell for sure cuz in the last days I spent most of my grand time doing settings, removing trash, trying (without any success so far) to implement multi windows and thus rebooting all the time... But since ram consumption is lower in 4.1.2 probably 4.1.2 has a better battery life.
The multi windows mode on 4.1.2 is bug free once set, but at first you have to set dpis properly.
Add navigation key in the soft keys bar? What do you mean? You mean adding other keys? I think it's possible to add the search key, but I don't know about other keys like camera, app drawer (this one is touch wiz dependant so if you use another launcher it won't work anyway, even on a Rom that supports it like let's say the tabs) or screenshots. It depend if it's supported or not (if the function is built in then it's just a matter to find the line and enable it, but if it's not supported then I'm not sure if one can trigger it).
As for me I would like to trigger real tablet ui (the notification bar merged with the navigation bar in the bottom), but I know that Samsung has disabled it on the grand and with this 4.2.2 "upgrade" I didn't have time to check further. Be insured that I will as soon as I'm done with 4.2.2...

I want real tablet ui.. Navigation keys are activated in Aokp as soon as keyboard pops up..
I really found that interesting.. May be deodexed rom can achieve it...
Edit..
I found that your 4.1.2 multiwindows mod works better on deodexed rom. Is there any way that I can convert my stock rom to deodexed rom?
To err is human; to forgive is divine

I don't follow you.
When one has the soft keys enabled it means that the keys are always active.
I'm not a big fan of custom roms (and to be honest I have always been disappointed with the ones I tried), for me the best is a bug free stock rom with everything working. Rooted, deodexed and debloated of course.
Regarding deodex, if you want to use floating multi windows on your grand, and if you want to theme your systemui etc. you need to be on a deodexed rom. You've probably noticed that the modded systemui in op is deodexed, if it hadn't ben nothing would have been possible...
Edit:
yes, the floating windows work better with a deodexed rom. If you don't know how to do it on your own it's a good opportunity to learn
Otherwise search the forum, there are some deodexed 4.1.2 roms...
When I get back to 4.1.2 I will try to improve those floating windows a bit, but first I want to try to make it work on 4.2.2.

Not working for Me
i have 4.2.2 rom and rooted
flash through CWM but wipe cache but nothing happen why

You are on stock 4.2.2?
Nothing happens? No transparent notification bar?
To have the soft keys you have to add
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
in your build.prop, otherwise the soft keys won't show, did you read op?
@DBZo07:
I went back to 4.1.2, this 4.2.2 is not for me. So I won't make a thread about safe to remove apps, but you can use the one I wrote for 4.1.2 cuz it's the same, except that you can't remove fusedlocation.apk. Don't forget to make a backup just in case

[MOD][XXJVQ][ODEX] and that is not lag internal browser base

Hello everyone,
after passing through the deodex JVQ, I come back to the Odex basic lag and too much waiting in use, for lack of cons with hacks
So I share with you two things for the JVQ Odex
- Touchwiz 4 with a apps Phone, Sms and Contacts (based on "SGS2-AOSP Icons / TW4 / Hacked Apps" of Switchrock)
http://www.multiupload.com/4JD1YICWYP

based on a mix of Bo$s & Pomdeter, and that is not lag internal browser base http://www.multiupload.com/AUZHISIHLM (updated ok, version 1.2)
ATTENTION Extended power menu not work !
the same with the original lockscreen: http://www.multiupload.com/ACBYCGY222

ps : escuse me for my bad english
Hi there, you're excused for your English no problem! but I have to say I have no clue what you mean with this
'after passing through the deodex JVQ, I come back to the Odex basic lag and too much waiting in use, for lack of cons with hacks'
Can you give us some instructions on how to install?
-Do we run them from the recovery menu?
-Do we replace apk and/or .odex files manually?
I'm very interested cause I'd like to keep my JVQ odex as stock as possible but with your mods it would be perfect!
These are flashable with CMW3 and do seam to work and do not lag the browser which is great.
Great job.

Don't hesitate to do more mods to the stock rom
One comment, you said that the extended power menu doesn't work.
True.
What now also doesn't work anymore is Quickboot (from the market).
That doesn't do anything anymore after installing JVQ_Mod_Odex_SLD_V1.2.zip
After restoring JVQ_odex_Restore.zip it still doesn't work, also similar apps like AnReboot stopped working altogether.
I think the problem has to do with root permissions somehow being withdrawn or deleted cause all my apps that require root access have stopped working to. They start/run but don't execute their function (e.g. droidwall complains it no longer has root access).
Can you please look into this?
Update:
Fixing root permissions in cwm recovery solves the above problem but is persistant (also happened after a second install of the mods).
The Extended Power Menu options result in the GUI being restarted.
i lost root.

+1
Reapplied it easily as I'm on tegrak kernel. Tried reinstalling superuser. Doesn't work.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I reinstalled root from within the Speedmod kernel, that worked without a problem (just took me some time to figure out loosing my root was the problem).
The good thing is I have the nice circle mod and some graphics tweaks plus the browser still rocks!
But I would consider this still a beta that needs some more work.
So If I understand it correctly, this fixes the browser on a deodexed JVQ rom, but it will cost you root and the extended power menu? Great work! I hope you can fix those issues, I don't know I can easily re-root my phone (running on darkcore 2.8) and I like the extended power menu too much to give it up
Again, great work. You've made a lot of people happy!
It doesn't fix the browser cause it ain't broken.
It also doesn't cost you root if you're on speedmod.
And I guess the extended menu is something being worked on so it looks good from my pov, at least I have a great stock slightly themed JVQ!
Okay, make it useable then. Calling the stock browser laggy on a deodexed JVQ is an understatement.
Great TW4 stef !
Just upload .zip in CWM and you have a new phone !
Thanks

The point I made was that the stock browser is not broken on the odexed version and we run these theme mods on the odexed stock JVQ so the browser is not fixed.
Which one shall I install TW4_JVQ_ODEX_V1 or JVQ_Mod_Odex_SLD_V1.2 or both since the contents of the two are different? Is there any bugs after installing this mod? Kindly please explain between the two version what's the difference. These are just my questions on this mod.
TW4 is the one that should contain touchwiz 4.
The other one contains the mods like green battery, etc...
I've just installed the TW4 mod on my odex JVQ running speedmod.
But the boot took 2 minutes, while it normaly takes about 25 seconds.
Will this happen on future boots too?
EDIT:
This doesn't contain TW4, just the icons.
It's still the old, ugly TW3.
EDIT2:
the restoration file doesn't convert the tw4 icons (contacts+messages) back to old school TW3.
Please fix this, cause i don't want to flash JVQ again.
So basically this doesn't make it like TW4 only the icons even if I install both mods. It will just look like TW4 but the way it works will still be TW3. Is this correct?
Not sure what you flashed but this is definately TW4
Transparent dock, semi transparent background in app drawer, page numbers at bottom in app drawer and homescreens and of course icons have been changed.
Works like a charm, thank you very much!

[Q] A few modding questions

Hi guys,
I'm a former i9100 owner and recent buyer of a Gnexus :victory:
I'm getting this new phone in 3 days , in the meanwhile i've done some research on XDA but there are some points which are still unclear to me.
I hope someone can help me out.
1) How can i change softkeys DPI? ( I mean how can i make them smaller so the screen for apps is bigger? )
1bis) How can i make the black bar transparent so the keys stay directly on wallpaper?
2) I've seen I can change softkeys and that's cool. Can i change also which buttons are displayed? ( for example i never use the right one, the open tasks manager ).
Thanks in advance!

1) Custom roms (most) have this option.
---If your rom does not have this option you can use This Guide (ignore the edits made in the video)
Instead navigate to \framework-res\res\values\dimens.xml
And edit these three lines:
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">48.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">48.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">42.0dip</dimen>
To the height you'd prefer.
YOU NEED to be on a deodexed (all custom roms...any rom you flash.)
Personally, I take it down to 0.0 dip and use LMTPie instead.
1bis[lolwut]) Eh. There are some hackey little tweaks that a few are making...
Personally; I think you end up with too many bugs and it isn't worth it.
2)Yes, via custom roms.

I think most people who like a stock feel are using "Mmuzzy" builds.
I personally run the heavily modified AOKP.
Edit:
Also, as for your "customizing nav buttons" question...
This is definitely not a stock feature...so it wouldn't be in stock rooted.
AOKP and I'm sure others that are 4.2 based include the option.
There isn't a publicly available 4.2.1 build for AOKP, however. The team is working on mashing all of the features back in.
Ok sorry for the dumb question but...how does AOPK roms behave on gnexus?
on my i9100 anything which is NOT based on stock (ie cyanogen) has a massive battery life penalty compared to stock-based. For example with my stock based+ custom kernel i can achieve around 35 hours with normal usage ( 1 hour call, whatsap and browser ) while on cyanogen i dont get such results.
This is why i take stock roms deodexed and work on them

[Q] Question about notification bar/custom rom setup

First, sorry if this should be somewhere else, I tried to reply to a couple threads that related to this but was told that I was not allowed to do so.
Okay, I have been trying to fix this for a few days now to no avail. I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2. When I got the phone, I rooted it, left the stock rom (because I want full s-pen functionality; none of the custom roms I tried provided full support), and flashed a couple jb files to change the battery icon/center clock/toggles/remove brightness bar, etc.). Everything worked fine.
A few days ago I decided to upgrade the firmware to have the multi-window support. I wanted to flash the jb files again to customize the notification bar toggles, battery icon, etc. However, after doing so, I get a system ui has stopped error message and I have no notification bar whatsoever. I tried some of the other jb files with the same result. The only other customizations I can find are supported by Android 4.1.2; however, I am at 4.1.1. I have looked endlessly for a way to go up to 4.1.2 or 4.2 but the only options I see for this upgrade are supported in India/Europe/etc. I cannot find a version to upgrade and stay with a stock rom. I have tried cyanogen which works for the Android update; however, does not fully support the s-pen. So, I'm stuck.
I definitely want to be able to:
have multi-window feature
have full s- pen support
customize the notification bar. (change color, center clock, circle battery icon with percentage in center, remove brightness slider, remove line underneath each toggle button, remove samsung clear notification button - basically the features that the JB themes provided)
keep root access
Not necessary, but would also like to upgrade anything above Android 4.1.1. I also like all of the customizations that cyanogen 10.1 offers; however, the s-pen support is a must.
If someone could help me I would be incredibly appreciative. I would like to know what to flash or what files work. I have used romkitchen before to customize an older phone, but can't find anything like that to keep the features I want. I would be willing to pay/donate if these files don't currently exist and someone would like to offer to make them for me to flash.:fingers-crossed:

[MOD] V20F bell / atnt / xxx Kronic BlueMod v4.3 / V5 / V5.1

Kronic BlueMod V 4.3 / V5.1 for 4.2 framework
- i posted v5 on a reply... wasn't thinking it's on page 1.
- it is normal for first boot to take a long time after flashing mod, during this time the system is updating the cache partitions new drawables etc because system files changed. 1-3 minutes maybe. if it starts to take really long then flash backup zip or reflash the rom you were using to patch the files back to normal, this shouldn't really happen though unless you get currupt download or flash to incompatible rom.
for bell based v20f, also works on most other v20f but some icons may need to be swapped.
- to backup original ui, make a copy of this zip, open the copy with 7-zip, replace /system/app/systemui.apk and /system/framework/framework-res.apk with the CURRENT ones from your phone (adb pull them or something) then rename the copied zip originalUI.zip and put it on your sdcard, in case something goes wrong you can reflash it to go back to default.
- to install just flash the zip in recovery mode, do not wipe cache partitions, the android OS will update them when it sees changed files.
enjoy!!!!
p.s. i don't take responsibility for you breaking your phone.
if you aren't confident in moding these files, but you want something changed just post what it is and i'll do my best to provide you with a personal patch. if there is an icon i missed on the rom you use, let me know and i'll update. (many roms use differant icons)
- if this doesn't work with your rom you can request that i write one specifically for your rom and i may do it.
i do intend on adding other color versions of this so feel free to request colors.
this UI mod is intended to make the amazingly stable and battery friendly v20f a real option by making it pretty.
other additions i recommend are:
power toggles (has a homescreen widget that add's reboot menu with recovery option and bypasses reflashing on reboot by this i just mean a faster reboot by using a root reboot command instead of stock reboot which takes forever)
pocket skip track (allows you do add screen off track switching functionality to stock roms.)
mx camera (gives you hdr camera options without removing 1080p video capabilities like cm10.1)
apex launcher (jelly bean style launcher with lots of options)
exdialer ( a good free dialer with some really nice theme's i bought a payed one for 2 dollars or something that's black and blue)
MHL works on stock roms (micro usb -> hdmi -> tv)
the rom i recommend to run with this is
the legend Ho!No!'s v20f mod 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185178
happy texting !!!
the other feature of this is it should theoretically run smoother than stock files due to less compression.
i will also be posting email.apk LGMms.apk LGCalendar.apk with some better black theme's
this mod is not new but i'm just trying to make a universal one for v20f now, i already have alot of happy users.
--added in 4.3 is standard black background with blue text (on title bar) for any apps or widgets that use default framework values, so far on mine it works for quite a few.
i don't think this will work on roms that aren't deodexed
Kronics BlueMod V5
V5.1 has a few divider fixes and the tab for slider panels/quicksettings in status_bar_expanded
the lockscreen is for pattern lock check attachment if u wanna see it
the screenshot for the quicksettings panel is from before the cyan color was fixed to neon blue
screenshot 16 is V4.3 the others are 5.0, in 5.1 the bottom tab color is fixed on screenshot 26
in 5.0+ BlueMod tag is removed i decided the average person probably doesn't want it.
in 5.1 the bottom bar in expanded panel color is fixed
- i did more work to framework-res to change more of the default backgrounds and font color's for 3rd party apps and such, there are a few system apps that i think have to be modded individually because it didn't apply for them, but you should see some of your apps starting to inherit the theme.
for the pattern lock mod, i disable the showing of the lines because it's extremely hard to mod, it's done in some equation in a smali file somewhere that is differant location on most phones, until someone that has a strong grasp of smali that uses LG phones takes a look i can't mod that
reserved for secondary files
if you want to learn to do your own mod's, or fix something i missed on your rom, the tutorial can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362717
Kronics BlueMod v5
This has only been tested on the rom with 4.2 framework v20f, if someone wants to try flashing it on a non updated framework v20f and let me know if it works that is cool, if not i'll do it when i get a chance, if u do it backup your original files to a flash first.
i already fixed the highligher on the bottom tab for settings panel that is slightly the wrong color (greenish) coming in next update
i'm currently investigating the issue that is causing long reboots on every reboot instead of the first one after install. it doesn't seem to be affecting system performance but i know that is probably annoying people so i'm looking into fixing it.
edit i wiped all drives and installed the rom without the mod and it was only 15 seconds or so faster boot, i think this rom just has a long boot (the 4.2 framework one)

A little bit of help ...

Hi all...
i just got myself a new rogers zl c6506 with 4.2.2.and 423 versionFor now its just rooted to remove all the junk and un necessary things.Now,id like to find a way to modify the real ugly whyte notification bar.Im not planning to change the rom for now btw.
Is there an app,launcher/theme that will change the whole look of that whitish ugly not.bar ?....id like it blue like CM.
As i can see,most of the roms ive seen,the Notification bar remains white...is there a reason for that ?
thanks in advance

there are a lot better launchers than the Go one you tried. ADW for one is way better with Nova coming in very close.
You could also install the Xposed framework that has a couple modules that will help you change lots of visual elements. It also allows you to fine tune and add nice features to your OS.
did you try with buzz laucher?
no not yet...ive installed adw and spent the day with it...il check for the buzz one...
well tried nova and buzz and none of them satisfies my needs....its really the notification bar that bugs me the most. and the other thing is that i have a locked bootloader and unlockable...
i really dont know if im gonna change the firmware,i guess im too used to the samsung way to flash hehehe
is there a stock rom/ firmware with the BLUE notification bar ?...and DONT talk about Cyanogen PLEASE
ive dloaded xposed famework and install
i bought xposed statusbar mod...tried everything and only tha batt and clock goes to blue color...
cusromize ur rom
I don't think you can do so with any launchers you have to customize rom .
i wont...its gonna go back to the store

Are you really giving up that easily? And what is this white bar you're talking about, the small one between notifications and quick settings?
This has a blue theme that might be what you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239387
Yhe bar im talking about is the one with clock,batt,signal,wifi ect.
i got Xposed to work by changing icon pack and now the wifi and signal icon is too small.
ive read most of th thread you linked to but as i can see,its for unlocked bootloaders....as mentioned above,i cant unlock mine.
and i read somewher also that he's getting bored with his phone...with that said (in my mind it says its a pita to work on ) hehehe.
im an old ***** that want thing fast and quickly done...another point for samsung flashing method with odin

It says right in the title thread that it's for locked bootloaders...
And what you're looking to change are the statusbar icon colors. That bar at the top is the status bar. Notification panel is when you slide the status bar down and you can see your notifications.
Yea, don't give up that early
There are a couple stock roms like the one posted above and a flashable dark mode for most system apps.

Download the ROM either on the phone, or on your computer and copy it to your phone, I suggest using an app like titanium to backup your apps and settings then go into recovery by pressing volume key as the phone boots then install > select the downloaded ROM > wait > once it's done, reboot, enjoy.
Damned piece of crap...
ive done a full recovery of the firmware from pc companion
now ive lost data transfer....only got phone working
im done....im sick of it
