Question to all the devs out there...
inside of framework-res.apk there is the res/values/bools.xml file with has some true/false settings. Is there a known method of changing these settings from the OS post-boot, perhaps a command hook or API...
It's defined under http://www.androidjavadoc.com/2.3/com/android/internal/R.bool.html
Any thoughts?

How to make any gingerbread or cm7/cm9 status bar transparent
Check my signature for all my statusbars including pre-made stock cm7/cm9 and Aosp statusbars and guides​
There's three ways to make the statusbar bar Transparent and I'll post them all
One way works with any gingerbread rom (deodex & rooted) and one with cyanogen 7
I have not tried it on ics or jelly bean but you can try (for people who stumble across this thread who are not galaxy y users)
Please dont ask for support unless you are using a custom rom on galaxy y
Any other phones please goto your own phone forum for support
You also need a launcher that is capable of transparency
Adw works but you need to disable wallpaper hack in settings
holo launcher works
any other launcher if it doesn't work look in it's settings & try & disable wallpaper hack or manage internally
Method one for non cm (Stock Deodex Rom)
You need apk tool installed - if you don't know how to use it see my guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206938
Once you have decompiled SystemUI.apk using apk tool goto res/layout Open status_bar.xml in notepad
Find the following line
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" [COLOR="Red"]android:background="#ff000000"[/COLOR] android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
Notice the part highlighted in red android:background is normally a hexadecimal value or it could be a drawable value
either way change the red part to the following
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" [COLOR="Red"]android:background="@drawable/nameofpng" [/COLOR]android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
Notice that android:background is now a drawable value
Change nameofpng to the name of your transparent background image (just the name - do not include the file extension .png)
place this image with the same name as the drawable value in res/drawable-ldpi
(of course other devices might be in mdpi or hdpi)
Recompile and sign apk
Put in a flashable zip and flash with system mounted
You can download and use the pngs in the attachment (for ldpi like galaxy y) or create your own
To create a transparent status bar image just take a non Transparent one and edit it in a photo application to make it Transparent (make sure image dimensions stay the same and is for your phone resolution)
Method two for cm7
Note you will need apk tool installed and notepad++ installed
Download the patcher tool by Z25 in attachment
Unzip the contents to a folder
Place your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk in files_to_patch
Run patcher.bat
Select status bar tweaks and enable only transparent status bar
Edit the smali file as described in the text file that pops up
Select option build and sign
Select option to create zip files
You now have a zip file called patch.zip
unzip this and take out the SystemUI.apk - we will save this for later
Now we have to either make our own transparent theme or you can download a theme from the playstore for theme chooser that already contains status bar transparency
If you are downloading a theme from the playstore skip the part "To create your own theme" and go straight to the part "final steps"
To create your own theme
Goto uot kitchen http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen
Take cyanbread.apk from the app folder of your cm7 rom & place on pc (or any other Theme Chooser Theme you wish to make transparent)
Rename it to what you want to call theme
Upload it to kitchen (under cm7 theme in file upload)
In status bar tweaks set background transparency to around 70% Transparent and any other settings you need like carrier or footer - don't forget to generate preview once done
Make sure you have selected ldpi in statusbar tweak settings and ldpi/mdpi for theme chooser preview in file upload (other devices may vary) and in file upload change update binary to galaxy
Then goto summary section
If everything is green create the theme
If not make sure you have clicked generate preview on status bar tweaks
Kitchen will then create theme for you
Download the zip file from kitchen and unzip it
Take out your theme apk
Final Steps
Sign both your theme apk and SystemUI.apk that you saved from earlier with a platform key using zipsigner (playstore)
Put both apks in a flashable zip and flash in cwm with system mounted
(note if you are using a theme from the playstore just do this for SystemUI.apk)
Once the phone has booted goto
ADWLauncher
System Preference
Disable Wallpaper Hack (untick the box)
Your status bar is now transparent
Method three for cm9
Once you have decompiled SystemUI.apk with apktool
Goto smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBar.smali
Find the following line
Code:
invoke-direct/range {v11 .. v16}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V
Above this line change
Code:
const/16 v16, 0x4
To the following
Code:
const/16 v16, -0x3
Now in notepad++ open the following
res/values/drawables.xml
Find the following line
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff000000</item>
Change the hex value to the hex value of the colour/transparency you want
For example
Completely transparent:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#00FFFFFF</item>
70% transparent
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#b3000000</item>
50% transparent:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#7f000000</item>
Recompile
Sign with a platform key using zipsigner (playstore)
Put in a flashable zip and flash in cwm with system mounted

what rom are you using?
decompile then recompile the apk without making any changes - if it compiles correctly you know you have edited the xml file wrong or not placed the corresponding png in the drawable folder
if it still gives errors without you making changes then either you are using apk tool wrong or the apk has other errors from the orig source

No reason why it shouldn't work - make sure you have loaded SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk into apktool using the apktool if command
Make sure all your apk tool commands are correct I'll post a guide on it soon

Follow my apk tool guide I just posted - I can assure you if you follow all my guides correctly and Fully you will not get force closes - I have made many status bars using this method
Decompile my SystemUI.apk from my status bar thread so you can compare the line for the statusbar background in status_bar.xml with yours
If you get errors when you decompile the apk it means the apk was wrongly compiled to begin with and apk tool can't decompile it correctly - you will need to correct any errors that are in the original apk before you can recompile

Some launchers do not support transparency
if it doesn't work and there is no option to disable wallpaper hack or manage internally in the launcher settings or something similar you will need to use a different launcher if you want transparency
even in go launcher it still wont have transparency

can you plzz give me the link of tutorial. i searched in google and xda but i could'nt find it... thank you
Searching for some stuff I found a nice guide made by @hoangnova about enabling all lock screen animations for G3. Using his method I managed to activate Ripple, Crystal and Particle effect on my G2 Mini (D620r), cause I saw in one .xml file that it could be possible.
First of all your phone has to be rooted to do this.
1. So get you LGLockScreenSettings.apk from system/app folder and decompile it (I prefer Android Multitool ).
2. Open res/values/arrays.xml with Notepad++
3. Find
Code:
<string-array name="effect_names">
...............
</string-array>
Replace it with
Code:
<string-array name="effect_names">
<item>@string/lockscreen_effect_particle</item>
<item>@string/lockscreen_effect_dewdrop</item>
<item>@string/lockscreen_effect_crystal</item>
<item>@string/lockscreen_effect_ripple</item>
<item>@string/lockscreen_effect_white_hole_alias</item>
</string-array>
4. Then find
Code:
<string-array name="effect_values">
....
</string-array>
and replace it with
Code:
<string-array name="effect_values">
<item>@string/effect_index_swipe_particle</item>
<item>@string/effect_index_swipe_dewdrop</item>
<item>@string/effect_index_swipe_crystal</item>
<item>@string/effect_index_swipe_ripple</item>
<item>@string/effect_index_swipe_white_hole</item>
</string-array>
5. Compile LGLockScreenSettings.apk and sign it.
6. Using some file manager that can manage system files replace stock LGLockScreenSettings.apk in system/app/ with the one you made
7. Give permission 644 to file - it looks like this
R W -
R - -
R - -
8. Reboot.
If you get some FCs you probably didn't change permissions to file, check it first and then if you still have problems clear data to Lock Screen Settings app.
I attached the file I edited (from V10g-EUR-XX for D620r), so if you're compatible you can try with this one.
Thank's to:
@hoangnova ([GUIDE] Enable all lockscreen effect on G3)
NOTE-IMPORTANT
Using Android Multitool you need to install both framework-res.apk and lge-res.apk to decompile and compile apps. Installing framework-res.apk only will give you problems compiling apps at the end resulting with no app compiled, plus I think that it doesn't decompile app in the right way without lge-res.apk installed.

However, I lost an option to change lockscreen wallpaper, so now I just use G2 Tweaks for Xposed to have these options.

Check in lockscreen settings if isnt there anymore, its way better to work with system files instead of xposed modules.

Since I'm no longer updating my themes (at least for now) and I've been asked a few times, I'll provide a quick guide to changing the accent colours.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...ed-black-theme-accent-colour-options-t4051377
May do a full guide at some point in the future, but that would be quite long.
Huawei themes are just zip files but with ".hwt" file extension.
Apps I use:
*Note, you can use any similar apps that serve the same function, though I believe mixplorer is the best file manager especially for editing themes.
File Explorer (to edit the .hwt & .zip files).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixplorer.silver
*also note if you're using a different file manager you might have to add ".zip" to the theme.hwt e.g. theme.hwt.zip before you can open it, with mixplorer you don't.
Download:
iOmix-Temp.hwt
https://bit.ly/2M82lHT
Colour picker (to find the hex colour code of your choice).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jahirfiquitiva.pals
Vector image editor (to create the .png files).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shoebillsoftware.vectordraw
Download:
iOmix Theme Png Templates
https://bit.ly/2ZxJtdd
Includes .png & .svg use either as a template to create your own brightness & volume scrubbers these ideally should be the same accent colour that you use in the theme.xml
1. (Optional) Create a folder on your phone, call it whatever you want, I usually name it editing.
2. Copy the theme file (iOmix-Temp.hwt) to the folder.
3. Rename the theme file by adding ".zip" extension to the end "iOmix-Temp.hwt.zip"
*you can skip this if you're using mixplorer.
4. Open the zip and extract the following files to the editing folder:
com.android.contacts
com.android.systemui
framework-res-hwext
framework-res
5. Rename all files by adding ".zip" to the end
com.android.contacts.zip
com.android.systemui.zip
framework-res-hwext.zip
framework-res.zip
6. First we'll edit the theme.xml files in each of the files we extracted in step 5.
The process will be the same > replace 007DFE (this is a hex code without the #) with your own colour code (also without the #).
7. Editing theme.xml files
**Contacts.zip**
A. In the contacts zip open the theme.xml use the replace function to replace 007DFE with any other colour code *make sure [replace all] is selected.
B. Open framework-res-hwext folder > open theme.xml and repeat previous steps of replacing 007DFE with your preferred colour.
**Systemui.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Main folder > theme.xml
B. Framework-res > theme.xml
C. Framework-res-hwext > theme.xml
**Framework-res-hwext.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Main folder > theme.xml
B. Res > theme.xml
**Framework-res.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Main folder > theme.xml
8. Replacing the main .png files.
**Contacts.zip**
A. Res > drawable-xxhdpi > fastscroll_label_phonebook_emui_null_icon.png (needs to be 152*152 pixels)
**Systemui.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Framework-res-hwext > Res > drawable-xxhdpi > scrubber_control_normal_emui.png
(needs to be 98*98 pixels)
B. Res > drawable-xxhdpi > ic_seekbar_thumb.png
(needs to be 90*90 pixels)
**Framework-res-hwext.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Res > drawable-xxhdpi > scrubber_control_normal_emui.png
(needs to be 98*98 pixels)
Finally you might want to rename the theme so you can find it in the Huawei theme manager app.
In the root of the theme zip there is a file called description.xml, open this file and change the title Theme title
Now remove the ".zip" from the files you renamed at the start:
com.android.contacts.zip
com.android.systemui.zip
framework-res-hwext.zip
framework-res.zip
Back to:
com.android.contacts
com.android.systemui
framework-res-hwext
framework-res
Copy the 4 files back into the theme.theme.hwt, If you used mixplorer then just copy the edited theme.theme.hwt back to your main themes folder
If you used a different file manager then remove the ".zip" extension from the theme.hwt then move to your main themes folder.
If you edited theme isn't showing in the Huawei themes manager, you might need to force stop it then reopen the app.
I hope this is clear enough.
Would be great if you share your edited theme here.
Let me know if there's any questions
***(This is a work in progress will be updated as time goes on)***

Hi Faisal,
To change the share sheet colour:
framework-res > theme.xml >
<color name="GM2_grey_800">#ff161616</color> (change to preferred colour)
In mixplorer you can use the code or text editor (I prefer the code).
If your editing the theme.xml in framework-res (for example) you first need to extract it from the theme.hwt, then add .zip = framework-res.zip then edit the xml inside
As for the other theme you're best asking the theme creator of that, not all themers use the same structure and this thread is just a quick guide to changing the accent colour since a few people have asked.
Maybe I'll do a longer guide at some point in future but right now I don't want to spend too much time on this.
