Heey there
I was searching a while for a transparent settings app (I like transparent apps so )
Since no theme porter or dev was answering the Q for transparent settings app
I tried to customize the settings app myself i tried different things but unsuccessful (maybe because of my limited skills )
After some more trying it almost works
So thought I'll post it here so everyone can enjoy a transparent settings app
Since I'm not a dev or theme porter and I was just trying something out
There are some bugs in it but I don't have the required skills to fix them all
so if there is any dev or theme porter that could give me some tips PM PLEAS I really want this done
Extra options that work
Build in font changer in settings app itself so no need for Third party app
G-sensor calibration option
This need to be "fixed"
Wireless and network menu
Bluetooth switch on the check-box in the settings menu doesn't work (when you enable bleutooth in the statusbar the settings can be changed in the bleutooth menu)
Call settings menu
The call settings menu should be expanded (now there is only a voice-mail setting option so nothing like hide numer callsettings etc.)
Sound settings menu
There is an option for video-call ringtone (need to be removed but doesn't give FC so not urgent )
Display settings menu
Brightness setting doesn't work (if you use the Power control widget you can change the brightness)
There are options for
- White colour density
- Black colour density
- Saturation
- TV out
All FC, whether they should be removed or fixed, if someone can make these option working that would be super
The horizontal calibration must be edit because the roll indicator is not one the right scale
Location and security menu
The option for aiding sensors is missing
Application menu
in the menu "manage applications the size for each app is on the big side not verry handy if you have a lot of apps but its just for the looks so not verry urgent
SD-card and memory menu
There is an option for formatting internal memory haven't tried it yet but if someone has enough courage to try this option we will know if it works
For the rest everything is working perfect
Thx man
Love it !

No need to re-flash your rom
just past the Settings.apk attachment in System/app an you got your old Settings.apk back

Reflash a Rom is much more easier than prepare a cup noodles. Just plug to PC and then fire up odin, wait for 2mins than Titanium Backup than that's all
Now doing a full Backup
But anyway thank you for your setting.apk

That's true
but when i see its not working but I'm on my way home and don't have a pc I just replace the old one
so no reboot, flash or backup needed
Thanks for trying I hope some day a theme porter will give me some tips or make a better one
I'll reupload my previous one so some people can try it out and maybe fix the bugs
After trying my first attempt again i discovered that the build in font changer in the settings app works so you can apply new fonts in the settings app itself so no need to install any third party apps
Also the option for G-sensor calibration works!!!
Well. The main difference you will find in styles.xml when you decompile this Settings.apk and the one from our phone. There are some lines that have to be added to it. And then you will have to define them in Public.xml also. And then again you will have to declare them in the classes.dex file. i.e. in the smali files.
Its tedious. Smali/baksmali.

Thank you so much
Since I actually still have very little experience with XML. I am teaching myself more, so it will take a while before I can continue to improve this
many thanks for your advice
If there is someone with more knowledge than me please feel free to edit the app

^ Hi,
what's the exact problem/ui issue your are having? (like text color or list item selection color etc.)
I haven't tried modding an app before but I am a full-fledged Android developer.
So I will try to help you if possible.

We need to port this. Add few lines to styles.xml and the smali files.
Ok, I got the editing part. but what should I try to fix?
Is there a list of issues for this?

For UCKH7 Based ROMs
One of the things I liked on my Captivate was the mod to get rid of the increasing ring when someone calls you. The mod was very popular over there.
YG007 Made the original mods on the SGS i9000 which he also ported over to the SGSII i9100
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230085
Here is an extract from YG007's thread:
"As long as I can remember, most samsung phones had this "feature" where when you receive a call, the ringtone will gradually fade in to the volume that you have set. This mod will get rid of that annoying fade-in and allow your ringtone to play at the volume that you set it to!"
Many Thanks to his work... All credit goes his way. I just ported it over.
Instructions:
MAKE SURE your firmware is deodexed and you are using the right fix to the proper firmware!!
1. Put the phone into "Flight Mode" either by holding power while the device is on and selecting Flight Mode from the submenu, or by selecting Flight Mode from the Settings menu.
2. Use a terminal, or root explorer, or any app you want to copy Phone.apk to /system/app/. Make sure the file is Phone.apk --(If you still get a FC, don't worry, just proceed to step 3.)
3. Reboot the phone.
Here's the Phone.apk File Link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16195646/Phone.apk

Strange... My phone had always had the increasing ringer. The effect on the SGS2 isn't as pronounced as the Captivate though.
The code is in the Ringer$1.smali file (Line 174)
Code: invoke-virtual {v1, v3, v5, v4}, Landroid/media/AudioManager;->setStreamVolume(III)V
Once you remove this line of code... your all set.

No but it might show up if you use an i9100 roms since the increasing ringtone is part of those roms if they don't remove it manually.

This is correct. It will implement the increase.
UPDATE:
First of all let me apologize for not being active/updating the app. or posting updates about it.
Since my mini pro is my primary phone and I have to keep restarting/modifying Semcphone.apk I couldn't devote time to it.
Over the weekend, I tried to learn the SemcPhone.apk and to see what all $ONY had done with the file.
They did do a job but I wouldn't say a good job.
Coming to that,I have a few things,
Removing a feature is always easy but to put it in requires a lot of work.
And no matter what I tried with the 'programming' I know,
It din work out
OK, That was the bad news , next
If everyone is willing to put an extra app. into their phone until $ony releases its source ( WHICH MAY BE NEVER ACTUALLY ) ,
I was thinking to make a no-bull**** app with the extra features that i wanted to add(the call connect vibrate,blacklist),
If you guys are thinking y use my app,we can use/download it directly from the market,then please do so.
So delivering to my promise,I have an update and have done with another feature i.e Vibrate on Call Waiting(simple app really just few lines of code)
If enough people want me to still continue,i'll continue with this app cause I have given up on semcphone.apk
But the overhead is that you will have to use another app. i.e Call_Waiting.apk
What the app actually does:
The app is simple few lines of code which tap into the telephony and see if there is an incoming call when there is already a call in progress.
It will vibrate after a small pause.
I did not attach any activity to it just to make it simple.Once you install it,it will be running.
For the concerned users : it asks you for the phone state permission cause the app needs to know if there is an incoming call and also to control vibrator that's all.
you can uninstall it by going to package manager and finding the app sud.phone.extra.
Little write up on the 3rd post

We can actually do that,if anyone has seen the semcphone file you can see that you can modify the position of the buttons.Its just trial and error am sure.more on that later
But as I said, mini pro is my primary device and I cannot find a working emulator for $ony ROM(if anyone made it run please do let me know,it'll make all of the themer's,developers life easy)
Also vibrate on call connect requires internal android packages to view the call state as being active,
Internal packages are not allowed for normal app. development, and hence looked for a workaround this and am doing my best to put this feature in call_waiting.apk soon.
I used Android devices before and I never liked the option of vibrate on keypress so I removed that and thought to share.
Features for now :
NO vibrate on key press in dialpad.(phonebook.apk)
Vibrate on Call Wait. (Call_Waiting.apk)
To-Do :
Vibrate on call connect
Blacklist
1. copy phonebook.apk to /sdcard
2. remount system rw
3. cp /system/app/Phonebook.apk /sdcard/Phonebook.apk.orig
4. cat /sdcard/Phonebook.apk > /system/app/Phonebook.apk
5. chmod 644 Phonebook.apk
6. chown root:root Phonebook.apk
7. rm /system/app/Phonebook.odex (only do this if there is a Phone.odex file)
or
Just do the required steps from RootExplorer, Its easy.

FAQ:
Q: Which rom can this run on?
A: I personally use Hybrom but it should work on any Sony Rom which has stock SEMCPhone and Phonebook . Am sure CM uses different phone.apk so please do not install on CM roms.
Q: Which phone can Phonebook.apk run on?
A: This can be run on any Sony phone's.
Q: Which phone can Call_waiting run on?
A: All 2.3 + phones.
Special thanks to ALL the rom,kernel developers and everyone on XDA .
[size=+2]I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE.PLEASE MAKE BACKUPS[/size]
P.S If anyone is adding this to their ROMS, please let me know.thnx

Hey, anyone how to change the default home screen in stock rom ICS without LancherPro (and others)?
The default home screen is always the 4th screen.. ALWAYS!
Anyone?
Add this to your build prop:
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=3
Change the '3' to whatever screen you want to be the default
(i think this still works for ICS)
btw, this was also the first result in a google search...
is this work for non-root? where can i change this?
You require root
Change your build prop in system as described to 0 .
Rules say post questions in Q&A
jje
Sorry.. anyone can change this for me? Tks
Is there any solution for non-root?
AS said no try joining XDA developers forum and root your phone . If not try a Samsung users forum .
jje
One question how the hell it was on 4th on the first place? If you are stock and not rooted.
Do you even have i9100.
Agree stock is 0 custom are usually 3 or 4 .
OP please check your firmware .
jje
Usually, the easiest way on ICS is editing build.prop/default.prop or using a launcher app.

I saw others posts saying that default.prop has this line (on /system), so you only have to change to the number you want; by default ICS is set to 2 (checked mine here). That means page 3.
I changed mine to = 0 and default home page is now 1. Just rerember to reboot after change it.
Tks for sharing
Sounds about right fella, glad you got it sorted

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
For some reason i think i included the parameter in wrong default.prop/build.prop and screw up my device, have boot loops but now i re-flashed and his back alive.
Be careful on changing *.prop files
And have fun

On the Samsung Galaxy S, Long Press the Screen until the Widgets Options appears, Clear that with the Return Button, and then there appears a Gear / Cog Icon on the Top Left of the Screen, (it's sort of Transparent, like a WaterMark).
http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/23740/128/cog_gear_options_preferences_settings_icon
If the S2 has this Option, then click on this Gear/Cog, and all Available Screens will be Displayed in a Thumb Nail, and click on the one that you want to be Set as your Home Page.
Also, you can Access this by the "Menu~Edit Page" Choices
Anybody know how to Change the Default Home Page on a Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX that hasICS?
Probably a dumb question but how do u modify the build prop?

I remember that you must have the pro holo launcher to be able to organize app drawer.
For the test message, i don't know if there's a patch or anything but maybe try to change the test message app...
