Is there a good guide for developing a custom ROM which is a bit more advanced than a beginners guide? Cause I want to know how you create a section in the settings app where you can modify settings like center clock, and navbar height.
Thx in advance.

Just study commits of similar features. I would assume there's not a specific guide, but look through the commits in relevant repositories and you'll learn how it works and how to implement a similar feature yourself.
Good luck.

As other people have said study the commits and code of similar apps specifically take a look at the code for Cyanogenmod's CMParts and AOKP's ROM Control.

Hello I was wondering if there was a mod or such to get the power control on the D2 pulldown menu, if you can help ,e it will greatly appreciated.

A few apps can fake it. Power Control Plus and Wigetsoid, for example, will keep an ongoing task with your configured controls in the notification area. It's not quite the same as the pull down controls in ROMs like Cyanogenmod since it will jump depending on what other ongoing tasks you have but it's close.
Just download the cobalt rom and it comes pre-installed. It isn't just a plain old app, it is AOSP so the dev of cobalt was able to make modifications and got status bar controls working.

Where can that ROM be found?
Can be found by searching the D2 android dev forum for cobalt.
Or simply following this link below lol.

Hey themers:
I'm just getting acquainted with making small modifications to the system and am currently working from a stock 4.0.4 LPL based ROM. I would like to implement a 50% translucent effect on the TW status bar.
I've decompiled SystemUI.apk many different ways - as a non-system app, an app w/ dependencies (both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk), I've recompiled without any issues at all and immediately de-compiled to make sure my changes "stick", and they do. I then throw them into a flashable zip, wipe cache/dalvik, flash the zip and fix permissions, no go.
I'm following a guide that was originally posted in the GS2 forum that instructs us to do the following:
1) SystemUI StatusBar.smali - locate the "...Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V" statement and change the const/v16 above it from "const/16 v16, 0x4" to "const/16 v16, -0x3".
2) Go to res > values > drawables.xml and edit "status_bar_background" hex to #7f000000 for 50% transparency.
This didn't work on its own, so on top of that I also tried implementing the same sort of change mentioned in #1 above on both the PhoneStatusBar and TabletStatusBar.smali files. Still no go. The system boots no problem, but just no change in the visual appearance of the status bar.
Does anyone have any ideas outside of this on what smali file or statement in the above files might control this feature? I'm still digging but didn't know if others had attempted this. Thanks to any and all who are willing to help. I don't need anyone to look at code for me, just a gentle shove in the right direction would be fantastic!
+1 for this.
I'd love to see this work.

I'll get there...The solution cannot be far off from what has already been documented. However it seems others have not yet been able to do it on this device...probably just because there are more pressing projects underway. Guess it's up to us noobs lol

Does tw use a standard grey block to extend the background for the status bar? It sounds like it would and if that is do you could try adding that grey colour to an alpha channel on the image.
Just a thought

I'll have a look this week!
You need to modify the "tw_" variants of the status bar definitions to see anything happen, TouchWiz UI does not use the regular assets/definitions.

No problem, I spent most of last night working out how to move the system bar from the bottom of the screen to the top using a decompiled SystemUI from the TouchWiz rom for the Galaxy Tab. You might find that even though you make the bar transparent that the area behind it is black anyway (it is for me at least using the official 4.0.4 rom) due to it assuming that the system bar is being rendered there. I'm yet to figure out how to manipulate the rest of the WindowManager environment to fix the issue.

Dude really, all you have to do is install Power Toggles from Play Store, and then customize it to your liking. You can select the colours, everything.
And please check before creating a new thread. There's a nice and sweet forum about Themes and Apps for our phones.
I've built what is essentially stock cyanogenmod from their source. Now. I'm looking to add some extra settings to it. I've been looking at the gerritt, but all the changes there are miniscule and not really what I'm looking for. How can I add, for example, slim bean's navigation bar and stuff like that to my ROM?

By cherry picking the features from Github.
Or by writing the features yourself.
Sent from my N4, wanna know what I am doing? Check http://team-fun.eu
So I'd find the things to cherry pick from on cm's github?

I realize that this is late. But mostly for future reference:
Well, the features from the CM Github are already in CM. Maybe things that you like from other ROMs? You can cherry-pick from every git repo out there

So I'm building my first aokp ROM from source and am trying to do similar now I understand what cherry picking is but it's their an easy w way to do it?

Looks like the setting hasn't been added back. You should still be able to edit it in the build.prop though. Look for ro.sf.lcd_density and adjust to what you like.
There are apps that can change that in the play store if don't want to edit it manual

Just a friendly suggestion - I would try keeping it at the stock slim DPI for a while, you probably will learn to love it. I always changed it to stock android myself but once I kept it on the 361 DPI, I got hooked. I would never change the DPI now.
