[Help] Shortcut to user apps in expanded status bar - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

There are mods having a shortcut to 'recent apps' besides settings button in expanded status bar. How do I add shortcut of a user app instead of recent apps shortcut? For example I want walkman app's shortcut there. Is it possible to add it? If yes, please provide a brief tutorial to do so.
Thanks in advance

WRONG again...look at [HOWTO] Add ICS 'Recent Apps' button (or other softkeys) to Status bar.....
what you need to do is to find out the command to launch any apps you want to add in the status bar....

Thanks for the link. I'l try it out. I don't understand codes I would be grateful if someone could mod my files for me and add walkman shortcut to expanded statusbar.
Here are my systemUI and Walkman.apk

Erm... Does this add the shortcut to the statusbar itself or the notification panel... U can always use widgetsoid for adding shortcuts to your notification panel though

This is a mod I'll be looking into next. In theory you can put any app in the drop-down screen or even the statusbar. But I'm not too sure how. The code for the settings menu and for the recent apps are very different..

This is proving complicated. I don't think it's something we can do just in the xml, I think we need to edit the original java files as well. Which could be fun since we don't have the original java files.
I think I've found a way to put the media controls in the expanded status bar and possibly the actual status bar itself...but I'll take a look at that later. I want to get this mod figured out first.

Widgetsoid on market places a widget/toggles in notification bar.

It's the first thing that I missed from stock GB!!
Patience ... the mods will come.
I tried Widgetsoid but the GPS toggle is a PITA because it takes you into the settings page. Why don't google have an ICS widget for this stuff like they used to have with 2.x? Bah.

I use that and it's ace but I find it often 'slips' down the notifications list. Is there some trick to making it stay at the top?

It does that occasionally for me too. Guess that's the downside of it being an app instead of systemui mod. But at least it works.
Also if you want the gps / nfc to be direct toggles and you have root. Make a system app of it: http://vps201.fra05-inx03.webhod.de/thomas/j4velin_development/dl-root.php?app=nt
/edit: in the settings of the app there is a toggle "display in the on-going no notifications section". Seem like if you uncheck it, it will be moved back to the top.
It looks pretty nice too. The CM9 icons you can download from within the app fit the xps theme pretty well:
Yeah I have it as a system app and use the CM icons.

That doesn't seem to make any difference for me. It still drops below most new notifications. Ah well, it'll do until some modded SystemUI's start to appear.
I'm working on it but i dosen't loads becose of the odex file when somebody wil deodex the room i have it ready!

I have most the firmware deodexed already to do notification toggles plus do power button restart / reboot to cwm.
I can upload the deodexed framework/res and android.policy jars when I get home so we can do the above.
Having trouble deodexing qcrilhook.odex tho.
Edit: These are NOT pre-modded, just stock ready for your modding pleasure.
Deodexed the following:
-android.policy.jar
-framework-res.apk
-framework.jar
-SystemUI.apk

thanks mate but pls can u upload them to box or something else the framework res are damaged i really need them!
---------EDIT---------
the SystemUI.apk is damaged to!
to be sure upload them all on external site pls
Another great app for showing toggles in the notification area is Power Controls: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
Unlike Notification toggle, it DOES stay above other notifications. Pretty awesome all round.

Does not support Reboot and Shutdown, so: no
If you're just looking for an app to add notification widgets I use "elixir 2" it does this and more, I've just got resource monitoring activated temp, cpu, mem, sdcard, internal etc on the notification bar but u can add buttons and apps etc also.
But I think we want the real deal ;-)

Am I the only one who can't compile SystemUI whiteout it getting 'bad'. After I push it to the phone and reboot it doesn't work (gone). Even when I do not change anything (only decompile and recompile), it doesn't work.. Had the same problem when I deodexed it myself. :/

same problem here! but i have an idea, i cannot test because i'm at work! since SystemUI.apk is framework dependent we must deodex the framework files first ! if you have some time to test let me know if it works!

I suspect you'll need the SemcGenericUxpRes.apk framework file as dependency when decompiling.

Nice Nice. Waiting for a download link. Nguyenxuanhoa is one of the best MOD ever, occasionally he is a lazy man.
was wallpaper scrolling enabled here? anyways, thanks for your great work sir, keep it up
Good luck with the ROM mate. 2 things. You have said 2.4 Camera when I think it is 4.2 camera. And secondly
ATTENTION TO ALL USING MULTI SCREEN WINDOW
Do you love multi screen windows but hate that stupid tab on the left hand side of your homescreen? Well, I just worked out a very fast and simple way to disable and enable this multi screen tab without having to disable the mod at all and without having to go in to any menus or settings to do it.
How? Make sure you already have the multi window box ticked in Settings>Display! Now "While on your homescreen" hold the capacitive back button down and then tap the capacitive menu button without releasing the back button. This will make the tab disappear (Not disable the feature). Repeat these steps to bring back the main multi screen bar, click on the home screen to minimise the multi screen bar back to a "tab"
EDIT* Looks like this works by simply hold the back button rather than tapping menu button too.
Developers might want to add this to their OP or FAQ!
I hope this helps somebody as picky as me
*If this fails to work for you, my setup below*
Nova Launcher
Omega 16.1
Green Circle Battery which can be found here

Hi,
You can do a little thing...using root explorer copy SystemUI from preload/symlink to yur PC.
Then with winrar or 7zip (i use winrar) extract drawable-hdpi from SystemUI, and search for the 2 icons that you see on statusbar.
Then using Gimp or photoshop, just erase the icon, (not the transparency) and set his size to 1 pixel.
You'll have a transparent icon with 1 pixel size. Copy it back to drawable-hdpi and rebuild using winrar or 7zip, and copy to your phone.
With root-explorer copy again to preload/symlink, and give appropriate permissions.
Reboot, and your icons will be gone...
Don't remove them from SystemUI...you'll lose systemUI...

the file you need to mod is status_bar_expanded.xml
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.NotificationPanelView
you can set transparency by changing the android background color hex
I added a new background so the resource would define color by drawable rather than style... i did this for the reason it is easier for the average user to mod themselves.
Nice mod still getting the shuttering when opening the drawer no biggie.

the systemUI mods have a permission set for Prism.apk. I'm assuming that is a typo in your updater script and you meant to set the permissions for SystemUI since that's what is being flashed.

no worries what level of transparency are you looking for? - its more than likely in the values/drawables folder under something like status_bar_bg.. if not i thing on the sense based roms they are png files due to the open close of statusbar.. in the case of the second i would look in the drawables folder for something like status bar on or something... if you have any issues let me knw

What build is your systemUi.apk based from? I'm setting the build.prop on 240dpi and I got the phablet layout (two columns in setting and extra quick settings, also mutated notification bar - but lost lot of features from the stock xperia keyboard and broke the stock alarm&clock apps... damn). Will it behaves same way with your ui?
Transparent status bar would be nice
