I was looking for some nice honeycomb touch for my 101. I already found a gingerbread framework wich looked very nice, however unfortunately my archos 101 gets bootloops everytime I try to install it.
I was wondering if its possible to move the buttonbar to the statusbar (with arctools maybe) and then move the bar to the bottom of the screen (as seen on honeycomb). I would also love to see the search icon removed, as its useless in my opinion.
Otherwise some help to get the framework from this post succesfully installed would be highly appreciated.

And i think this is possible, you have to find the right parameters in the right files..
I dont know anything about frameworks but msticninja and fisha21 should know this
Maybe you could pm ninja
We had have very much discussions about the soft buttons and or status bar

Yeah shouldn't be too hard, as Cyanogenmod for Archos 101 has something like this already! However I will not PM anyone from this board since its a matter of respect, as I am being a newbie. I know how it feels like, if some newbie comes, demands something and already annoy some ppl. Maybe I am just being hypersensitive xD

Moving the buttons to the notification bar is easy, just use urukconfig on uruk, or Arctools on stock.
I may be able to remove the search button as well by editing the virtualkeys files.
Moving the bar to the bottom though, I'll have to look into CM7 and see how they do it, but it may not be possible on froyo.

It looks like the virtualkeys files don't control the buttons once they've been moved to the notification bar. Not sure if I can remove buttons.
To move the bar to the bottom, CM7 did alot of java work. I can move it to the bottom, but I can't get it to expand upwards. I have to modify the logic in StatusBarService.java, particularly the performFling method on line 1159, but it's gonna be really hard. Not even sure if it will work with froyo. I'll keep trying.

I did try looking into this (before I got distracted by my shiny new Transformer )
Once you move the buttons into the notification bar, the icons change. These new icons are found in the "drawable" folder of the framework-res.apk eg stat_sys_back_p.png. There are also associated .xml files, but these just tell the system which icon to show when the button is pressed. Haven't yet found where the appearance (order, size etc) are controlled.

I'm still trying to duplicate the upwards fling. I've got it working sometimes, but when you hiccup or stop in mid fling, it gets stuck sometimes, usually causing a soft-reboot. See if you can find the button layout for me, I'll keep working on the bar itself.

It would nearly eliminate the need for a launcher and make it easy to operate with fingers. kinda easy to use button and scrollwheel, but large icons would be easier to see.
anyone else interested or know if its possible?

Try this. It Will enlarge your Start Menu. ( I am not the creator of this CAB, but it does work for the Titan and Touch.
Hope this is what you needed

Guys,
thank you very much for your reply.
However none of this actually solves my problem.
I tried Wisbar, but it does NOT hide any of the icons that I want to hide.
Also, the thread mentioned does not say anything about HIDING the three icons, only about changing their look.
Am I wrong in my judgement?
Cheers
i think you are wrong, because if you know how to change an icon, you can change it to an one transparent pixel icon... if im wrong, would someone please correct my assumption; i only changed the start icon of my taskbar, but i think you can take an icon in the colour of your taskbar background, so it would be "invisible" ... am i wrong??
Greetz
Boris
P.S. im also sure, that you can hide the icons with wisbar advanced eventally with the "wisbar advanced desktop" called variant that i used 2 years ago under WM2003, but its not easy to configure i remember

you are right about making icons transparent, but this does not solve my problem. I need MORE space on the taskbar, (the icon that displays number 1 is really annoying and USELESS, it serves for NOTHING at all). If I make the icons transparent, I will not see them, but they still will be there ocupying the precious space that I would use for somethibg else.
I tried the wisebar and I like it, (it is similar to Qmenu I am using), but again, it does not allow me to get rid of the annoying icons.
Am I doing something wrong? well, I am doing a LOT of thimgs wrong, but I mean in this case ...
Ok, now i see your problem, but im afraid, cant help you, but im still sure, that its possible to solve ...

I know for sure that wisbar advance does allow what you are talking about (but I'm not sure what the number one is though as I don't have that item on my taskbar). Make sure you aren't using the lite version. I dont have wisbar install right now so I cant remember exactly how to change it, but I know if can be done because I wanted the almost the exact some configuration as you and was only able to get it via that program. Play around with it some more and if you stilll cant find it let me know and I'll check it later when I have time.
Have you searched for reg edits? I know you can remove the battery. Notifications are a bit harder though. I'm pretty sure Wisbar advanced lets you customize what icons are present, but Wisbar basically just covers up the taskbar with an overlay.
What do you need all this "extra" room for? If you edit the phcanOverbmp.dll you can delete the icons, leaving only the ones you want. It won't "remove" the icons but would make them invisible so it appears to just be 1 long bar.
I dunno, but I can't figure out what you need all this extra "space" for. It appears that's gonna be your best and fastest solution without requiring a 3rd party app to always run in the background and having to deal with the overlay of Wisbar.
its easy,
All I want to have is on the taskbar ALLTHE TIME:
TIME, BAttery and notification, but the two marked icons (ASL and Edge) prevent me from viewing the rest ofd the icons.
I just finished testing with Wisbar that unfortunatelly does not allow this. These two stupid icons that are no use for me, cannot be removed with Wisbar (latest version).
I would search the registry but where... And... I do not want to get rid of battery and time....
Same problem
Hi, I just want to remove the number 1 on the task bar. I have just installed the onyx ultimate 4.2.1 and it appeared after I turned on the cellular on the comm manager. The number 1 referrs to the phone line 1. It really annoying to se it there.
please help someone!!!
Hello. Also same problem. Also using the HTC Touch Pro (right forum, right? Pretty sure.)
This is whats on my Elite ROMS system bar:
I would like to get rid of the big H icon. It goes ot the same thing the H(with signal bars) does! And I would be able to see the entire programs name if it were removed. That, or at least my notifications wouldn't be grouped into the "Talk bubble" icon. I hate when that happens. Three friggin clicks to dismiss an alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any idea? [subscribed]
Thank you for bringing this up because I use OzIM and nothing drives me more insane than not realizing I have a missed call because of the multiple notification bubble. I would be happy just to see signal strength, and thats it. I use a battery bar at the top of the screen so that battery status can go away. I hope someone finds a solution I would life to know as well.
Why not just edit the DLL files where the icons are stored...that should do the trick.
Use reshacker to edit the dll files..
what ddl files are they stored in?
Wont that only make the invisible (vs GONE). I.e. the goal is to recover the space they are inhabiting and slide the others over towards the right.
Removing the image will only "blank" out the space, not slide the others to the right.

use icon size 1 pixel width...make transparent.
They are stored in shellres.192.dll and phcanOverbmp.dll...maybe some other places too but the majority should be there.
ok ... I'm pretty sure this isnt gonna work based on the pervious comments in this thread.
But I wont know til I try. So off I go to try....
Found the shellres.192.dll file .. but if I try to copy it off the device via activesync, windws wnt let me. What gives???
How do I get it off my phone?!

HTH,
Hi there,
loving my new Galaxy but I don't really fancy the page indicator telling me what page of the home screen I am on. Any option to hide it? And no I wanna stick with TouchWiz so no other Launcher suggestions please ;-)
Thanks
DoubleYou
anybody any ideas?
Hmmm I'm curious about this too.....
Im still very n00b to android but off the top of my head im thinking about the possibility of getting into the touchwiz files and making the page indicator graphics transparent.
There's probably another, more efficient way than that but..... .
I've no idea if that's possible but I would certainly hope so. Ill be looking into theming this thing when I get my sgs2 and if I have any luck ill let you know.
I hate page indicators.......
Sent From My Fingers To Your Face......
Yes let me know please in case you find a way? I was actually hoping someone had already found a way to do this though ;-)

I dont know if there are any differences between the touchwiz apks in different ROMS but to be on the safe side, upload the file "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" from "/system/app" for me and I will get rid of that pesky page indicator for you.
Its not completely removed, it still works if you long press on it, its just invisible.

I also would of thought it would be as simple as making the numbers transparent, even a blank .png file?

Afraid not. They are called into play by a line of code somewhere.
They can be disabled in the same way you would disable the names of apps displayed under the icons our another item of text. Its just a matter of finding the right line to tweak.

Ah, that makes sense. Hmm bit of pain!
At the very least I found the png for the screen cap button that I can blank out, but I'd really love to remove the functionality that's running in the background.
Is the ScreenCaptureService.apk the only related file? Anyone try removing this?
(forum won't let me post under development, so I'm posting here)

Making the PNG transparent will look like the button is gone, but it will still be there when you tap that area. Removing screencaptureservice.apk will cause fcs when you tap the screenshot button, for me anyway.

Well I just removed the apk, and I'm not getting any visible fcs when I press it. The button still clicks, but nothing happens.
I guess the next question is...where do I look to try removing the actual button? Presumably a layout file somewere?
(If it isn't already apparent, I'm new at this. Experienced developer, but new to android.)

A a starting point: decompile the systemui.apk, check the smali/com/android/statusbar/tablet: MiniModeAppsPanel.smali et al.
No sources so its reverse engineering task.

Thanks for the direction. Found the code in smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\tablet, but I think I'm in over my head in these files for the amount of time I have to commit to this. I'll mess with it a bit later today and see where I end up.

The screen capture references I was looking for are in TabletStatusBar.smali. The easiest thing to do would be to just add a 'return' at the top of the onclick handler for the button (in conjunction with blanking out the png)...but obviously the button would still be there. I'm think getting rid of it cleanly would be over my head, but if anyone else has any interest in picking up from here please post with your findings.

hmm, i try it.
Getting errors in compiling after i try to change the smali
Why remove it? Lets remap it to a custom activity... The same can be done with the TW mini-app bar. Those can all be custom activities...
If you really want to remove the functionality, the quick and dirty would be to simply delete the ScreenCaptureService.apk from your system apps. Then make your icon transparent. Removing the blank space between the multitasking and menu (within apps) buttons may require a tiny bit of smali and/or XML layout tweaks.
hey guys. is it possible to hide the status bar from the lockscreen? I'm good with .xml, .smali or any other kind of edit. i just need to be pointed to where I would need to go.
I tried searching and came up empty handed. i'm trying hard to like the lock screen. i already changed the backgrounds (much better now), currently working on a custom lockring, last thing would be to hide that ugly status bar...it's only showing me what the lockscreen already shows anyways.
thanks for the info.
Download the app Widget Locker...U can remove taskbar and also a lot of customization to your style
I'm a big WidgetLocker fan, with my own custom themes made and all that when i was on the Evo 3D. i'm trying to move on with the times and use this nifty sense lockscreen. just has a few kinks to work out.
but if i dont end up fixing it to my liking soon enough i'll download widgetlocker again.
anyone else have any ideas as to how to get this done?
If you go into titanium backup, and freeze statusbar, it will do what you want, it will also remove in regular screen, possibly decompile lockscreen.apk and see if you can do it there.

that is not what I want to do at all. I don't want to make the status bar unavailable everywhere in the system. just within the lockscreen.
if I knew where to go, I can make .xml and .smali edits or whatever else. I just don't know how to search for things from scratch :-(

I'm just guessing, so this could be a useless thought, but... I think checking in idlescreen base would be a good start. You wouldn't probably want to mess with this in system UI because that would likely just hose the whole bar. Team d3rp seems to have maybe figured out making the bar transparent, which would leave the icons and if course be clear everywhere else too... but it's still finicky across the roms, so not quite done yet. pstevep is the man, and maybe could help? See what you can find and then maybe send him a pm.
bumpity bumb
bump, bump, bumpity bump.
any way to do this?
i would say edit lockscreen.apk (decompile and fish around) and also look in a androidpolicy.jar probably some lines of code your could remove/add to make it happen.
clever idea by the way. i am still trying to resolve issues with my idea of clearing notifications from the lockscreen by double tapping the home key. had it figured out for a little bit but it was causing apps to force close :/
again i like your idea... i probably wouldn't use it myself simply because i wouldnt be able to see important details or notifications etc without unlocking the phone
